But evidently the message did not sink in and many went to courthouses this morning.
So, a new message from the NC Chief Justice - to paraphrase: This means stay away from the courthouse unless you have a real emergency.
How hard is this. Think of others, not just yourself.  |
Yeah, I was a lawyer for 25 years and always amazed at how the District Courts here in Colorado where ALWAYS the last entities to close in the face of an impending blizzard. I was once waiting in court for a status conference and opposing counsel called in to say they were late because he had just been rear ended on the icy highway and the judge reamed out the lawyer for screwing up the docket.
