Kanawha County Magistrate Court has started closing its doors anhour earlier each night.
Night court now runs from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., Chief Kanawha CountyMagistrate Joe Shelton said Tuesday. Previously, court stayed openuntil midnight, and the staff took an hour dinner break between 6p.m. and 7 p.m.
The magistrates voted unanimously to get rid of their dinner breakand close an hour earlier at a recent meeting, and Chief KanawhaCircuit Judge Charles King approved the change, said Shelton.
"I think it'll serve the public much better," Shelton said,because more people are able to get to the courthouse in the eveningthan late at night.
