Lewis and Clark County Releases Feb. 23-24, 2026 Court Calendar

The Lewis and Clark County Clerk of District Court published a hearing calendar that listed multiple hearings, sentencings, jury draws and status conferences scheduled for Feb. 23 and Feb. 24, 2026. The calendar was filed with the clerk’s office in Helena and made available as part of the court’s public docket.

Entries on the Feb. 23-24 calendar included routine case-management items and calendar calls alongside scheduled sentencings and jury draws, signaling movement in both criminal and civil dockets across Lewis and Clark County District Court. The presence of jury draws on the calendar indicates that the court was preparing panels of prospective jurors for cases potentially headed to trial during the coming weeks.

The clerk’s release of these dates follows standard practice: calendars document when parties, victims and witnesses must appear and when judges will hold status conferences to set trial schedules or plea deadlines. Status conferences listed for Feb. 23 and Feb. 24 were intended to advance case timelines and narrow contested issues ahead of evidentiary hearings or sentencing events.

Sentencings listed on the calendar specify when judges will formally impose penalties or probation terms for resolved cases, but the published calendar does not include sentence lengths or case outcomes. Jury draw listings show the dates when prospective jurors would be summoned; those draws determine which citizens may be called for service and which trials will proceed to impanelment.

Residents and parties with matters on the Feb. 23-24 docket were directed to the Lewis and Clark County Clerk of District Court in Helena for exact courtroom assignments and appearance times. As a routine but critical public record, the published calendar provides the procedural schedule that moves cases from arraignment and negotiation to trial or final sentence in Lewis and Clark County’s court system.
