Requesting an ADA Accommodation

The Montgomery County Circuit Court provides reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Accommodation procedures for public users of the Court while doing business with the Judiciary are pursuant to Maryland Rule 1-332, Notification of Need for Accommodation:

To the extent practicable, a request for an accommodation shall be (1) presented on a form approved by administrative order of the Court of Appeals and available from the clerk of the court and on the Judiciary website and (2) submitted not less than 30 days before the proceeding for which the accommodation is requested.
