Consequently, this Insight is not intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the policies and practices adopted by each federal court or judicial entity. Additionally, given the rapidly changing situation surrounding COVID- 19, the information provided in this Insight may be superseded by new information from that which is described in the text below. If there are any questions regarding whether such changes have occurred, congressional staff may contact the author of this Insight. The author can also be contacted for information related to responses to COVID- 19 by other federal judicial entities or courts not specifically addressed below. Administrative Office of U.S. Courts The Administrative Office of U .S. Courts (AO) is the agency within the federal judiciary that provides, in part, administrative services and program support to federal courts. On March 12, 2020, the AO issued a statement indicating that federal courts were individually coordinating with state and local health officials to obtain local information about the coronavirus (COVID- 19). The flexibility provided to federal courts to adapt to local conditions is reflective of past practices during other recent emergencies (see, for example, the response by some courts to Hurricane Sandy in 2012). The AO also created a task force to serve as a single point of contact to share information and guidance related to the coronavirus outbreak as it relates to the Judiciary. The taskforce includes, in part, representatives from the General Services Administration (GSA), the U.S. Marshals Service, and Federal Occupational Health (FOH).
