Staying Warm

By Anne Skove, Esq.

Here's a bit of comfort blogging for those of you who are snowed in -- courthouses without heat!

• See the self-explanatory Pa. Courthouse Closes Because There's No Heat, AP (February 8, 2010).


• A worn Nebraska courthouse stayed open anyway: Hall County Courthouse Without Heat, Tracy Overstreet, Grand Island Independent (February 2, 2010).


• In Kentucky, one county sheriff's office will leave a building with faulty heat to share the warmth of the local courthouse. See Sheriff's Office Moves to New Courthouse, Melinda Charles, Ledger Independent (January 15, 2010).

Justice unheated is justice delayed is justice denied!

Meanwhile, a Colorado court stays toasty with the help of sunflower pellets: Southwestern Colorado Turns to Sunflowers for Energy, Nancy Lofholm, Denver Post (February 7, 2010).

Remember it's summertime Down Under. Judge Coolahan of Newcastle is experiencing an entirely different set of issues. See REVOLTING: How a Dead Rat Brought Justice to a Halt in Newcastle Courthouse, Stephen Ryan, The Herald (February 2, 2010), if only for the fabulous digitally altered photo (which we believe was done by a different Tracy Peters).
