[/caption]Los Angeles County courts aren't doing business today. They are closed.
County officials plan to close courthouses, self-help programs and Superior Court offices every third Wednesday of every month until June 16, 2010.
The urgency to close the courts once every month is a result of the statewide budget crisis.
Future court closures are: Nov. 18, Dec. 16, Jan. 20, 2010, Feb. 17, March 17, April 21, May 19 and June 16.
