Information about the Orders

Why are there so many orders responding to the COVID-19 pandemic?

Different orders have been needed as information about the COVID-19 pandemic has increased and to authorize the court system’s response to keep the staff and public safe.

The chief justice and the Alaska Supreme Court have issued orders that authorize the presiding judges of the four judicial districts to take specific actions to reduce the possibility of transmitting the virus in courthouses while providing public access to the courts, often through remote methods. This has included relaxing some rules of procedure that set out requirements for how cases are filed and how the hearings or trials will happen, often by telephone or video conference.

Under the authorization from the chief justice or the full supreme court, the presiding judges have issued statewide orders that set out how certain proceedings in specific case types will occur.

Individual presiding judges have issued orders that are specific only to the courts in their district based on more local considerations.

Since the pandemic began, the orders have been updated based on new public health information from the state’s chief medical officer and the CDC. As our understanding has increased about how to safely respond to the coronavirus, the orders have authorized additional hearings and trials in more case types to be heard.
