PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Central Bond Court Access for the Weekend of November 19 and 20

Released On 11/16/2022

Due to the replacement of existing ComEd power supply equipment serving the Leighton Criminal Courthouse, the courthouse will be closed all day this weekend, on Saturday and Sunday, November 19 and 20. The administration building will be open during this period. 

Because of this closure, the Pretrial Division (central bond court) will conduct all bail hearings on Zoom on the weekend of November 19 and 20. For the court hearings normally conducted in Courtrooms 100 and 102, attorneys and court staff will log in by Zoom. Court staff from other offices should contact their offices for specific work arrangements. 

The public will not be able to physically attend hearings on those dates. Instead, interested individuals may observe the hearings on the court’s YouTube feed. Here is the link for Courtroom 100, and here is the link for Courtroom 102. Only bail hearings are held on weekends.
