URGENT UPDATE: Downtown Los Angeles is bracing for massive crowds as the Dodgers’ victory parade unfolds on March 25, 2024. As a result, several Los Angeles County Superior Courts will be closed to the public, impacting countless individuals seeking legal services.
The closures affect multiple courthouses including the Stanley Mosk Courthouse at 111 N. Hill St., the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center at 210 W. Temple St., and the Spring Street Courthouse at 312 N. Spring St.. All court matters originally scheduled for Monday will be postponed or rescheduled, leaving many without their expected day in court.
IMPORTANT DETAILS: Individuals seeking restraining orders can still visit any courthouse that handles family law matters. Jurors who were set to serve on Monday do not need to check in on Sunday night but must call in on Monday for updates regarding Tuesday’s instructions. Jurors currently involved in trials at the affected courthouses are not required to report on Monday.
Despite the disruptions in the Civic Center area, the majority of Los Angeles County courthouses will remain open for regular operations. Officials confirmed that normal activities at the Civic Center courthouses will resume on Tuesday, March 26.
Additionally, the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration, which houses the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office, Auditor-Controller’s Office, Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office, and Board of Supervisors, will also close on Monday to accommodate the parade. Members of the public needing assistance from the Assessor’s Office can visit district and regional office locations or submit requests online at assessor.lacounty.gov. Regular operations at the Hall will also restart on Tuesday.
This parade celebrates the Dodgers’ recent success, but it carries significant implications for residents needing access to court services. With thousands expected to flood the streets, the atmosphere will be festive yet challenging for those requiring legal assistance.
Stay tuned for more updates as the parade unfolds and city officials monitor the situation closely.
