Delaware community service law and court system
The Delaware court system is made up of superior courts, the Court of Common Pleas, and justice of the peace courts. In numbers, Delaware has 1.02 million residents (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023) and three counties (Delaware Courts).
Under Delaware Code Title 11 § 4334, courts may order community service as a condition of probation. The details, how many hours and by when, come from your own case.

What Delaware participants do in the online program
Each session is reading, reflection and short assessments, done whenever it suits you and saved as you go.
At the end you download court-ready documentation: a certificate and an activity report of your hours by date, each carrying a verification code. Both can be checked on the community service certificate verification page. Spanish language support and an accessible, labor-free format come standard.
Community service in New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties
New Castle County in the north, home to Wilmington and Newark, handles the bulk of Delaware's court cases. Kent County (Dover) and Sussex County (Georgetown) serve the more rural southern part of the state.
Delaware's Court of Common Pleas has jurisdiction over misdemeanors and civil cases across the entire state, and it frequently assigns community service, particularly through its diversion programs.
Delaware's proximity to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington D.C. gives it a diverse population on very different schedules. University of Delaware students, Dover Air Force Base families and Rehoboth Beach seasonal workers all need community service hours they can fit around everything else.
Six safeguards behind your community service hours
Six safeguards sit behind the hours on your activity report: server-side time tracking, idle detection after 10 minutes, a pause whenever you switch tabs or minimize the window, blocking of a second session, typed reflections with paste disabled and effort screening, and a verification code on every completion document.
