Reporting for Trial or Hearing
Clackamas County Circuit Court has no formal “docket call”. Parties are required to call Calendaring at
503-655-8643 by 11:00 a.m. two days prior to your trial or hearing to report the status of your case.
Be sure to communicate special circumstances when calling Calendaring to report on the status of your case, such as:
- Out-of-state witnesses or expert witnesses;
- Time requirements for your hearing or trial; and
- Information and time requirements on outstanding motions that need to be heard the day of trial.
ATTENTION SELF-REPRESENTED PARTIES: If you and all other parties to your family law case have reached an agreement on all issues and would like to report your case as settled, please download and print the
Notice of Settled Matter – Self Represented Litigant form, and file it with the court as soon as possible. All parties will need to sign the form to show their agreement to remove the case from the docket.
Motions to Continue/Postpone
All attorneys are required to file their Motions to Continue/Postpone electronically through the File and Serve program. Self- represented parties may file their Motions to Continue/Postpone electronically through File and Serve or in paper at the Clackamas County Court, Civil Case Unit Room 104 at
807 Main Street, Oregon City, OR. All Motions to Continue/Postpone should be filed at least 72 hours in advance of the hearing you are requesting to continue or postpone so that the processing units have an opportunity to process and forward the paperwork to the Presiding Judge prior to the hearing date. If not submitted at least 72 hours in advance of the hearing there is a possibility that the motion will not be ruled on before the hearing date, but will be referred to the trial judge. If this occurs, pending a ruling on the motion to continue or postpone, please appear on the date and time of the hearing or trial prepared to proceed.
