You can now watch Stanislaus court hearings on YouTube, but in-person access is limited

If you go to the Stanislaus County Courthouse on 11th street in Modesto, expect a bailiff to ask why you’re there. The court took the step on Tuesday to limit access to only those with official business in the courthouse, such as defendants, attorneys, jurors and subpoenaed witnesses, in order to better protect against the coronavirus as cases again surge.
