 Food and Beverage Policy:

It is the policy of Sussex Superior Court that the public is prohibited from bringing in any food or beverage item into the court house. All food and beverages items MUST be consumed outside the court house and prior to entry. Considerations will be made for medical reasons and for children. During the security screening process, a determination will be made on a case by case basis as to the legitimacy of allowing a food or beverage item into the court house. For those considerations made, the items MUST be in unopened, non-glassed container. At NO time will food or beverage items be allowed into the court rooms.

Exceptions

  • Employees with a valid court house identification
  • Government employees with proper identification who are assigned or conducting official business within the Sussex County Court House (SCCH)
  • Individuals with medical documentation
  • Impaneled Jurors

Glass containers brought in by staff should be disposed of in secured staff accessible areas only.
