Due to water and air conditioning issues, the North and East Wings of the main courthouse complex in Fort Lauderdale have been closed today. The West Wing of the courthouse remains operational and is not affected. Regional courthouses in Hollywood, Plantation and Deerfield Beach remain open.
Chief Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips ordered the closure of the North and East Wings following the failures. The City of Fort Lauderdale and Broward County are actively working to resolve the issues.
Updates will be provided as soon as they become available.
