The physical courthouses will close when public schools are closed, so that remains the same. But Chief Judge Altonaga has tweaked the policy so that court employees are now expected to tele-work even if the courthouse is closed, unless they are without power or wifi.
On the other hand, the Chief did declare December 23 as a court holiday.
**UPDATED -- one helpful tipster points out that many court staff wanted the change to the hurricane policy so that they would get paid when there was a storm since they were working from home even if they weren't coming into the courthouse.
***SECOND UPDATE -- Well, this is interesting. I have received a number of responses to the above update and have been told that court employees ARE paid even when the storm closes the courthouse (since they are employees and get a salary). So, the responses say, this "excuse" is not accurate and not what the employees requested.

Oh yes judge I’m working …. Wait. Damn it just flopped 7-2 on my on line poker game.
No one works harder than our CJ!
The policy should be if the storm misses us, everyone goes back to work.
Can she get folks back into the office.... period?
