Bond courts at the Leighton Criminal Court House, the Domestic Violence Courthouse at 555 W. Harrison Street, the Juvenile Justice Division and all six Municipal Districts will remain open. 

Except for bond court, all cases scheduled for Monday will be continued for 30 days and parties will be notified by the clerk of new court dates. 

This is a developing situation. More information will be distributed when it becomes available.
