Operative words

The criminal courts conduct arraignments for those cases where an individual is either held in custody or is charged with a domestic violence offense. Courts are now using video conferencing in these arraignments... During these times of limited court operation, the criminal courts have remained willing to act upon any type of emergency motion, which is consistent with the handling of priority business.
