Alabama chief justice roy
moore says these closures are a result of underfunding to the state's court
system
District and Circuit Court
offices across the state will be closed to the public on Wednesdays but not
to employees, they will still have to come to work.
Moore said that clerks
have said in the past that they need more time to do administrative work, and
closing one day a week will let them do that.
There will be drop boxes
in the clerks' offices for time sensitive filings.
Despite the Wednesday
closing, judicial emergencies, like arrest warrants, will be dealt with as
well.
There is no timeline for
how long these Wednesday court office closures will continue.
Employees will still report to work, but the offices will be closed to the public.
