Chief Judge Evans announces temporary closing of Maywood courthouse

Released On 11/18/2003

Cook County Chief Judge Timothy C. Evans announced that out of concern for the public’s safety, he has temporarily closed the Fourth Municipal District Courthouse located at 1500 Maybrook Drive in Maywood. The roof of the facility had been undergoing repairs and last night’s unusual downpour produced leaks in the roof’s temporary covering. Power to the facility was shut down as well.

Chief Judge Evans said that an assessment of the damage is being performed, and that he will announce when the courthouse will reopen as soon as the information becomes available.
