How the Marshall County Court Calendar Works
No single countywide feed lists every Marshall County hearing. What exists instead are Circuit and Chancery term calendars, court-information pages, and online indexes with account limits. Direct clerk routes complete the picture. A term in Marshall County is simply a stretch of weeks. A court sits here during that stretch. It is not a list of arraignments, motion hearings, trials, or any party's next date.
Individual settings work differently. They attach to a specific case. So the controlling paper is a ticket's date and time, a court notice, a docket sheet, or word from the clerk. Justice Court's jail-session description, the Circuit and Chancery terms, and Holly Springs Municipal Court's regular start time are all calendar facts. They are facts of different kinds. Mixing them up is how a term date gets mistaken for a personal hearing date.
Marshall County Circuit Court Terms
The Secretary of State's 2026 Circuit Court and Terms calendar gives Marshall County four Circuit terms. The dates are February 3, May 12, August 11, and November 3. Each term runs three weeks. Marshall County sits in Mississippi's Third Circuit District. Those dates fix when court is in session. They do not cover each criminal or civil setting inside a term.
The Third Circuit MEC Court Information page shows Marshall's electronic-court metadata. It lists a go-live date too. The date is September 25, 2023. That page is court information, not a searchable hearing calendar. Its search and docket-sheet endpoints sit behind a login. Nothing there should be read as a public daily schedule.
For Marshall County, the court-information display confirms the Circuit MEC layer and stops there. No personal hearing list appears on it. To pin down a Circuit setting, run the case number through the available access channel or call the Circuit Clerk.
Marshall County Court Date Lookups
Begin any Marshall County court date lookup with the court name and case number. It is printed on the notice, citation, summons, or filing. Circuit cases can be traced through the Delta index or permitted PAMEC access. Chancery cases have their own Delta and MEC routes. A person without an account can still ask the responsible clerk about public viewing or a specific setting. Marshall County posts no countywide daily calendar. Neither Justice Court nor Youth Court publishes one. No printed daily docket exists either.
- Check the court named on the paper and preserve the case number exactly as printed.
- For a Circuit or Chancery matter, use the appropriate Delta index or permitted PAMEC/MEC route to locate the case.
- For an unavailable remote result, use courthouse or clerk-office electronic viewing during regular business hours, subject to access limits.
- Call the Circuit Clerk at (662) 252-3434 or the Chancery Clerk at (662) 252-4431 for the court that keeps the case.
- For Justice Court, call (662) 252-3585; for a Holly Springs ticket, follow the citation and municipal-court instructions.
- Ask the clerk to confirm the date, time, courtroom or location, setting type, and any recent change before travel.
Put the essentials in writing when you ask: the court, case number, party or case style where appropriate, the date range, and whether you need scheduling information only or a copy. Youth Court dates are not publicly calendared. The Youth Court office is the route for anything it may legally release.
Marshall County Chancery Court Terms
The Secretary of State's 2026 Chancery Court and Terms calendar sets Marshall County terms on the fourth Monday. The months are January, April, July, and October. Judge Robert Q. Whitwell is listed for the January and July terms, one week each. The April term runs two weeks. The October term runs one week. Both of those terms are listed for Judge Lawrence L. Little. Remember what these dates are: court terms. They cannot replace the date set in a specific chancery case.
The Eighteenth Chancery MEC Court Information page shows a Marshall go-live date. The date is December 19, 2016. Regular courthouse information appears there as well. Its public view is metadata about the court. It offers no anonymous case-results table and no full calendar of individual settings.
The Chancery MEC information names the right electronic system, nothing more. The actual date check falls to an authorized search, courthouse viewing, or the Chancery Clerk. Keep the court and case number together when you ask.
Court Settings: What Each Field Means
Read a Marshall County court setting line as a bundle of details. It is not just a date. The court and case number identify the matter. The time might mark a docket call or an individual setting. A location could be a courtroom, a clerk office, the courthouse, or another local facility. The setting type tells you what the event is. It may be an arraignment, motion hearing, pretrial event, trial, plea setting, or some other court action.
| Date | The scheduled calendar date. Confirm it because a later order or notice can move it. |
|---|---|
| Time | The stated time for a docket call or an individual setting; it may not mean that every case is heard immediately. |
| Court or judge | The court layer or presiding court that controls the setting and can confirm it. |
| Location | The stated courtroom, courthouse, clerk route, or local court location. Confirm the current room before travel. |
| Setting type | The procedural event, such as arraignment, motion hearing, pretrial matter, trial, plea setting, or status review. |
If a court paper shows only a date, call the clerk before you assume the place or the purpose. The docket may also carry a later entry that changes the original notice.
Marshall County Court Schedule Locations
Court locations in Marshall County are easy to mix up. Circuit and Chancery business runs from the courthouse at 128 East Van Dorn Avenue in Holly Springs. The county's courts page says so. Justice Court sits at 819 West Street. Youth Court has shared that address too, in Suite B. But the county notes a September 2025 move to 157 Market Street. Confirm the current suite before making the trip.
Holly Springs Municipal Court handles city tickets. Its Municipal Court information page lists a 9:00 a.m. start in Courtroom B. The address is 107 South Market Street. Your citation still controls, though. The date and time printed on the ticket set your appearance. Paying online or by phone may not cancel a required appearance. Follow the citation and the court's instructions.
A court term, a courthouse address, and a ticket appearance are three separate facts. Match the location to the right court and the right document for your matter.
When a Court Date Moves
Court dates in Marshall County move for many reasons. A continuance can shift a setting. So can a reset, a cancellation, an emergency closure, judge availability, or a later court order. The Secretary of State term calendars describe planned terms only. Those calendars carry a warning themselves. Terms can change by order, emergency, judge availability, or local notice. Your individual setting may change even while the broader term stays on the calendar.
An old paper will not carry you. That is true after a notice of change or a missing docket entry. Confirm the setting through the court's current channel. Write down the new date, time, location, and type of event. The clerk can explain the current calendar and how to reach it. Questions about legal strategy or the effect of an order need proper legal advice.
Marshall County Court Calendar Gaps
Some calendar gaps are unique to Marshall County. The county posts no Marshall-wide hearing calendar. There is no daily settings feed and no searchable courtroom calendar. No Justice Court or Youth Court docket calendar is offered for download either. Justice Court's public description says it holds jail sessions three times weekly so initial appearances happen within three days, but it does not publish the session days as an online daily calendar.
Those gaps make the direct court route essential. A Circuit or Chancery term date gives useful context, yet a clerk, a courthouse terminal, or a permitted docket system must confirm an individual setting. A missing online result can mean the wrong court. It can also mean a spelling or date problem, a login boundary, a restricted matter, or an unindexed record. It is not proof the case never existed.
- Term
- A scheduled period in which the court sits in the county; it contains many possible individual settings.
- Setting
- A specific court event placed on a case calendar, such as a hearing, arraignment, motion, or trial.
- Continuance
- A postponement of a court event, typically reflected by a later order, notice, or docket entry.
- Reset
- A new setting assigned after an earlier date changes or is removed from the calendar.
Missed Settings and What Comes Next
Missed a Marshall County court setting? Identify the court immediately and confirm the current status with the clerk who holds the file. Do not assume a term date or an online calendar explains what the absence means. The case may already have a new setting, an order, or another court action. If an attorney represents you, contact that attorney promptly. Only counsel can give the case-specific next step.
Missed a setting? Contact the court that controls the case as soon as possible to confirm the status and ask how a current setting can be verified.
A missed criminal setting can have serious consequences, including a possible bench-warrant or bond issue, depending on the case and court action.
For Youth Court or sealed matters, ask the clerk what scheduling information may be disclosed and follow the court’s instructions.
A municipal ticket belongs to the court named on the citation. A Justice Court matter goes through the Justice Court route. For Circuit or Chancery cases, the respective clerk can confirm the right contact channel and whether a recent entry changed the setting.
