In Montgomery County there are two District Courts and one Circuit Court. All DUI cases begin in the District Court located at either 27 Court House Square in Rockville or at 8552 Second Avenue in Silver Spring. The Defendant in a DUI case has the option to have their case heard in front of a District Court Judge, a Circuit Court Judge, or a Jury. If you ask to have your case heard by a Circuit Court Judge or a Jury, your case will be transferred to the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, located at 50 Maryland Avenue in Rockville.

This means that if you ask to have your case transferred to the Circuit Court, you will generally appear before a Circuit Court judge for a Pre-Trial settlement conference within a day of having the case transferred from the District Court.
