All Civil and Criminal Trials are Suspended through April 16
Order will Keep the Court Open for Emergency and Essential Matters
No Jurors are to Report Until April 16
Presiding Judge Kevin C. Brazile today issued an implementation order pursuant to the emergency powers granted to him yesterday by Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye under Government Code Section 68115.
“This order will allow us to comply with social distancing and to prevent the spread of the virus within our community,” Presiding Judge Brazile said. “The Court will reopen Friday only for emergency and essential matters to protect the most vulnerable in our communities.”
Presiding Judge Brazile reminded the public that no jurors should report, and no additional prospective jurors will be summoned for jury service for 30 days. Over the next few days, there will be additional news releases explaining in further detail the extent to which the Los Angeles Superior Court is scaling back judicial and court resources in response to the current public health
crisis.
