California Courts to Close Due to Budget Cuts
By Mark Spring
This week the California Judicial Council approved and announced that all California state courts will close the third Wednesday of each month to help offset California's budget crisis and avoid layoffs. These closings will commence in September and are expected to last until at least June 2010. These closings will certainly result in delays of proceedings and trials. Each court will have discretion on how to handle these furloughs to suit local needs. However, all closures will be treated as a court holiday giving litigants one extra day to meet deadlines.
