Hilliard Mayor’s Court
Overview
Hilliard Mayor’s Court is held every Wednesday starting at 7:30 a.m. This Court is not presided over by the Mayor, but an appointed magistrate.

This Court does not conduct jury trials, though, if a jury trial is requested, the trial may be transferred to the Franklin County Municipal Court.
