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.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
