Florida Chief Justice To State Trial Judges: 'Open Up Doors To Foreclosure Proceedings'

The Palm Beach Post reports:

• [Florida Supreme Court] Chief Justice Charles Canady ordered judges throughout the state to open up foreclosure proceedings, responding to requests from civil rights lawyers, the media and First Amendment advocates. Florida law already requires that the foreclosure cases be open, but judges and court officials have barred the public from attending them in part because the onslaught of foreclosures has forced some judges to hear the cases in their chambers.
