I am a public servant. First and most important is the public. Professional and courtesies, service to every person that comes to Magistrate Court for whatever reason is my first priority. Prior to a final resolution of case. In some court cases, privacy is a requirement, such as domestic violence and juvenile hearings.
Most cases are a matter of public record.
We are currently in office eights hours a day, three weeks per month. On call eight hours per week, one week per month. This is a total of 200 hours a month. Approximately 48 hours per week. I see nothing wrong with evening hours for working people to access the court.
