Hon. Alfred M. Butzbaugh, Chief Judge
The Courthouse Volunteer Program "Welcoming Team" is in the process of recruiting more volunteers to provide assistance and directions to the public who enter the building. We have our next orientation scheduled for September. Please call Cindy at 982-8615 for more information, or go to the Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan website.
When visiting the Berrien County Courthouse, remember that electronic devices (i.e., cell phones, cameras, pagers, etc.) are NOT allowed in the building.
