There is a witness room, Room 221, down the hallway from the courtroom. It is open and available during trial. Witnesses should generally be asked to report to that room rather than to the courtroom, which is numbered 216. The facilities of the chambers, including the telephones and the copier, are not available to counsel during trial. Counsel should enter chambers during trial only by invitation of the Court's staff.
Public telephones are available on the ground floor of the courthouse.
A copier is available in the Court's library, at a per-page fee. Counsel should advise their clients and witnesses to avoid the third floor of the courthouse during trial. The entrance to the jury room is on the third floor, and jurors are instructed to enter and leave via the elevators to the third floor. The Court makes every effort to commence proceedings at the time set. Promptness is expected from counsel and witnesses.
