Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure abruptly closed the courthouse last Thursday because people from other counties were using the courthouse to obtain marriage licenses and passports. Yesterday, he released a statement saying he "hopes" to re-open the courthouse on April Fools' Day.
That's appropriate for me.
He notes the courthouse remains open to the following members of the public:
- Any person (including lawyers) with business before the Courts. If you have any questions about an appearance, you should call Court Administration at 610-829-6700.
- Any person seeking a ‘Protection from Abuse’ order will continue to be admitted. If you call ahead at 610-829-6700, a court officer will come to the door and admit you. If it's after hours, a police officer will help you arrange an immediate hearing before a magisterial district judge.
- Any person (including lawyers) who believes, in good faith, that a statute of limitations pertaining to them may expire within the month of March, may be admitted to the building.
- Anyone who needs to post bail, including a bondsman or third party surety.
