We are happy to be a part of this important event and we strongly recommend that individuals register online, due to the expected large crowd.
Superior and District Court Debt Review Event
Many Rhode Islanders owe the courts money for costs and fees related to criminal convictions, but are unable to pay due to lack of income and other financial obligations. On March 29th, 2022 the RI Superior and District Court are providing an opportunity for people who have outstanding court debt to meet virtually with a judge in a community setting in order to apply to REDUCE or ELIMINATE their outstanding debt and clear any cost-related warrants based on assessment of their ability to pay.
Please note: this only applies to court costs owed to Superior Court and District Court. It does not include any restitution.
Event Date and Time: Tuesday, March 29th, 2022 from 9 am to 4 pm
Location: Nonviolence Institute at 265 Oxford Street in Providence
