US EditionFederal Courts Scale Back Operations as Government Shutdown Reaches 20th Day
Federal courts nationwide have started furloughs and limited operations after judiciary funding ended amid the third longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
- After court funding ran out over the weekend, the U.S. Supreme Court and federal courts nationwide began implementing shutdown procedures on Monday.
- Reliance on reserve funds kept the federal judiciary running until those reserves were exhausted over the weekend, while partisan standoffs between Democrats and Republicans blocked a deal in Washington.
- The U.S. courts memo instructs that individual courts will determine which cases proceed and which may be delayed, while federal judges continue serving and court staff perform only excepted activities under the Anti-Deficiency Act.
- Furloughs began as courts implemented shutdown procedures, producing new operational strains for the judiciary, and if the shutdown continues through Friday, federal workers will miss another paycheck.
- The jury program will continue because it is funded separately, and jurors should report as directed, while a U.S. courts memo directs limited operations to maintain constitutional functions.
