ADA
Appeal Process
In the event that a Request for Modification is denied or if the offered alternate modification is deemed unsatisfactory by the applicant, an appeal process is available. The applicant has the right to appeal the decision of the Statewide ADA Coordinator to the Chief Legal Officer of the Administrative Office of the Courts within ten (10) days of receiving a written notification of the decision. This mechanism ensures that individuals have an avenue to seek further review if they are not content with the initial decision regarding their modification request. While a written Request for is preferred, individuals may also make the request by telephone to the Chief Legal Officer. The Appeal from a Modification Decision Form is accessible through the link below, or can be obtained from various locations, including the Statewide ADA Coordinator, the Supreme Court Clerk’s Office, the Chancery Court Clerk’s Office, any District Court judicial assistant, and any Circuit Court Clerk’s Office. Additionally, individuals can request the form in large print or other accessible formats as needed.
