How the Grant County Court Calendar Works
Grant County posts no single web calendar that blends district and municipal settings. District case dates turn up in Kansas CaseSearch. They also appear on a citation, in a mailed notice, or in a later order. The District Court clerk can confirm the current setting. Ulysses Municipal Court keeps its own separate city docket. It also publishes a list of session dates.
The court named on the record decides your route. The Kansas District Court in Grant County handles district civil, criminal, probate, juvenile, small-claims, and county-level traffic matters. Ulysses Municipal Court takes city ordinance and city traffic cases. One caution: a county calendar page may also list tax or public-meeting events. Those are not court hearings at all.
Grant District Dates Are Not Posted Daily
The official county District Court page offers no Grant County daily docket. There is no weekly hearing PDF, no judge-by-judge calendar, and no public coordinator calendar. The Grant County calendar is a public event tool. It is not a record of each pending case.
That distinction matters. A general calendar should never be treated as a case docket. It simply was not built to track settings.
View the official Grant County calendar source.
The practical rule follows from the page itself. For a district hearing, rely on the case record and the clerk rather than a broad county event listing.
Grant County Court Date Lookups
Begin with the most case-specific source. A summons, citation, notice, or signed order names the court and often states a date outright. If that conflicts with the latest public event, ask the clerk which setting stands.
- Read the newest notice and identify District or Municipal Court.
- Search CaseSearch by exact case number, County = Grant, and the right case type.
- Open the events area and compare all settings with later orders.
- Call 620-356-1526 for Grant District Court or 620-356-4600 for Ulysses Municipal Court.
- Use the courthouse terminal or clerk counter if a public event is not online.
- For a city case, check the published Ulysses list and confirm it because dates can change.
A mailed court notice is tied to your case alone. A formal records request can retrieve an older one, but that route moves too slowly when a hearing is close at hand. Call instead.
Ulysses Municipal 3 p.m. Sessions
The Ulysses Municipal Court hearing-date page publishes 2026 session dates and states that sessions start at 3 p.m. Dates can change, the page warns. The list names no parties, no case numbers, no charges, no judges by session, no courtrooms, and no case status.
That list confirms a city session is planned. It is not a case register. Before leaning on a date tied to a specific citation, call the city court.
The municipal court source names the clerk, the judge, the address, the hours, and the phone route.
That office is the direct authority for city ordinance and city traffic settings.
Court Settings: What Each Field Means
Read a Grant County court setting as a cluster of fields, never as one lone date. Without the court and the setting type, a date can send you to the wrong office. Public display varies, so confirm any missing courtroom detail instead of guessing.
| Date | The scheduled day; a later order can replace it. |
|---|---|
| Time | The start time for the case or group session. |
| Court | Grant District Court or Ulysses Municipal Court. |
| Judge | The assigned judicial officer when public; assignments can change. |
| Setting type | Motion, status, pretrial, arraignment, trial, sentencing, review, or another event. |
| Location | The courthouse or room stated by the current court notice. |
Grant posts no official remote-hearing standing link. Confirm any remote appearance directly with the court.
Grant Setting Terms in Plain Words
The 26th Judicial District rules cover continuances, pretrial practice, sentencing, and judicial assignments, but no Grant-specific short-code list appears there. Write terms out in full rather than inventing an abbreviation.
- Pretrial conference
- A case-management setting before trial; it is not itself the trial.
- Motion hearing
- A setting to hear a request for a ruling.
- Arraignment
- A criminal appearance addressing the charge, plea, and next step.
- Continuance
- A postponement or rescheduling supported by a later court action.
- Reset
- A new setting that replaces or follows an older date.
- Municipal session
- A Ulysses 3 p.m. session date, not a case-specific status entry.
When a Court Date Moves
A Grant County court date can move many ways. A continuance, a court reset, an agreed order, a later notice, a closure, or a plain scheduling change can all shift it. The old date may still sit in the docket. Read forward. Trust the newest dated order, the current notice, and clerk confirmation over any older calendar line.
Local Rule 118 is the 26th Judicial District continuance source. Still, the local court page publishes no Grant-specific code such as “CONT” and no weather or holiday reset instructions. When conditions look rough, check current court alerts and call before you travel.
Use the latest source. A past date still visible in case events does not prove the hearing occurred or that the case ended.
Confirm a Grant Hearing by Phone
For Grant District Court, call 620-356-1526. Or visit the clerk at 108 S. Glenn, second level, Ulysses, Kansas 67880, during weekday hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Give staff the case number, court, party name, and date shown on the notice. Staff can point you to the public setting source. But do not ask them to disclose protected case information.
The county also offers a District Court contact form. Its fields suit questions, not instant calendar service.
No response time is stated for that form, so when a setting is close, pick up the phone instead.
Missed Settings and What Comes Next
Never assume a missed Grant County setting resets itself. Check the newest event or order. Call the court that owns the case. Ask whether the case remains set, whether an order or warrant was entered, and what public instruction applies. The right response turns on the case type and the judge's order.
Act promptly. Contact Grant District Court at 620-356-1526 or Ulysses Municipal Court at 620-356-4600. A calendar screen cannot undo a missed appearance.
For a district matter, the Grant County docket search can help locate current case events. The city runs no public case database. For a municipal case, go through the city clerk.
Grant Calendar Sources Show Slices
Each source answers a different question. A citation usually lists the first required appearance. CaseSearch picks up later event entries once the district case is filed. The Ulysses municipal calendar covers city session dates only. Ask the clerk about the court's current public setting. That answer lives with the court rather than on any one page. Pushing a source past its purpose invites wrong answers about a Grant County court docket.
Payment tools deserve the same caution. The Kansas Courts Central Payment Center can locate some obligations. But it is not a Grant County court schedule, and it will not list hearings. The eFlex filing system serves authorized filers, not public date searches. Keeping these tools in their lanes cuts down on false matches and stale dates.
Grant Court Date Access Channels
A full Grant County court date check works best in order. Start with the paper. The citation, summons, mailed notice, or latest court order carries the freshest dates for your case. Next, search public CaseSearch events for a district case. Use the Ulysses calendar only when the matter sits in city court. Then call the right clerk. When no public setting appears online, the Grant courthouse terminal and counter are the in-person fallback for reading the court docket.
Two slower channels sit at the margin. The District Court web form can carry a nonurgent question, though it promises no same-day reply. A records request can retrieve a past notice or order. But it is the wrong tool when an appearance is near. The court publishes no daily printed district calendar, no public remote-hearing link, and no Grant calendar coordinator number. With a hearing close at hand, a direct call to the clerk remains the safest step.
