Edit Summary for General Citation   

The SUMMARY tab of a Magistrate Order based on a General Citation contains a synopsis of process details.. The SUMMARY tab can be used to view these details. Also, the SUMMARY tab allows for issuing a General Citation  and for editing the Summary details. Below are the steps to edit the Summary details.

Before you start:

  • The ability to edit Summary information on a General Citation is based on a user's Role.

  • A General Citation Summary can be edited up to 8 hours after being issued (status = Served) by the issuing Magistrate, Proxies thereof, the LDA, or a Clerk.

  • Offense Date/Start Date of Offense and Offense Time can only be edited before Offenses are added.
