Going to Court in Hennepin County

Courtrooms are located in six (6) buildings, including four in downtown Minneapolis and two in the suburbs. Everyone who enters courtrooms must pass through weapons screening. The buildings are managed by Hennepin County.

Find A Courtroom

Most Hennepin County court buildings have display monitors with information about daily hearings (e.g., party names, courtrooms, and judges). Hearing information is also listed in the daily Court Calendar. If you cannot find a hearing location, contact Court Administration.

Give yourself enough time to get to the courthouse, park, pass through weapons screening, and find your courtroom. If you are late for your hearing or miss it, you may not be allowed to reschedule it. View the daily Court Hearing Calendar.

Tips about the Government Center: The Government Center building has a C-Tower (for courts) and an A-Tower (for county administration). There are security checkpoints on the 2nd floor (skyway) of each tower. The security checkpoint in the C-Tower is often very busy, so you could go through the checkpoint in the A-Tower, and then use one of the bridge floors to cross back over to the courtrooms in the C-Tower. You can also use elevators and stairways to move between floors.
