CHARLESTON — Judicial offices will work a half day today, according to an administrative order from Chief Justice William R. “Bill” Wooton of the West Virginia Supreme Court.

The order follows the proclamation issued by Gov. Patrick Morrisey and applies to all judicial offices and judicial employees operating under the authority, supervision or control of the Supreme Court, including the Intermediate Court of Appeals and magistrate, family and circuit court offices statewide.

Circuit judges, family court judges and magistrates will have the discretion to move forward with time-sensitive matters already scheduled on their docket as they deem necessary.

Individuals or parties with proceedings that were scheduled for the afternoon of Nov. 26 should check with the office of the circuit judge, circuit clerk, family court or magistrate staff to inquire about the status of their proceedings and whether they will be rescheduled if they have not yet been notified of any changes.

Courts also will be closed on Thursday and Friday in accordance with the regular Thanksgiving and Lincoln’s Day state holidays.

Starting at $2.99/week.
