Emergency Closings or Delays: Inclement Weather Procedures

Announcements of Courthouse closings or delayed openings are accessible by dialing the main switchboard to the Courthouse at either (410) 535-1600 or (301) 855-1243.  A voice recording will indicate whether there are any delays or closings to the county offices, District or Circuit Courts.  The recording is updated as soon as possible after decisions regarding delays or closings are made.  Therefore, parties participating in court proceedings or wishing access to the Courthouse should call the recording before progressing to the Courthouse.  Emergency closings or delays may also be broadcast by local radio or television stations per other public safety policies or procedures.
