Law Library and Courts OPEN Tomorrow

Regular Hours in Effect In accordance with the decision of Chief Justice Ron George to keep the California courts open for business on Friday, June 11, 2004 (The Day of Remembrance for President Ronald Reagan), the San Diego County Public Law Library will remain open tomorrow as well. The Administrative Office of the Courts has issued the following statement: "We have received questions from a number of you about the effect on the courts of President Bush's Executive Order and Governor Schwarzenegger's Proclamation designating Friday, June 11, as a day of remembrance for former President Reagan. Under California law, those actions do not make June 11 a judicial holiday. (Government Code Section 6700 provides a list of state holidays. It includes 'every day appointed by the President or Governor for a public fast, thanksgiving, or holiday.' Cal. C.C.P. ? 135 on judicial holidays follows ? 6700.) Additionally, the Governor's office has informed us that the proclamation, a copy of which is attached, specifically uses the term 'day of remembrance' so as not to create a holiday or to cause the closure of courts. Therefore, courts shall remain open." Federal, state, county and San Diego city offices will be closed tomorrow. City offices in Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, El Cajon and Vista also will close tomorrow. Poway's city offices will close at noon.
