The Detroit News:
The new chief judge of Detroit’s 36th District Court announced plans Thursday to make the courthouse more public-friendly by lifting a controversial ban on bringing pens and other writing instruments into the building.
The ban at the courthouse on Madison Street in downtown Detroit was implemented in May 2017. At the time, Court Administrator Kelli Moore Owen said the policy was ordered because court staff noticed that newly installed murals, featuring the city skyline, streets and symbols of justice, were being marked up.
In a news release, Judge William McConico said the “unnecessary“ policy had placed an undue hardship on those having to come to the courthouse.
“All restrictions banning members of the public from entering the 36th District Court with pens and pencils are henceforth rescinded,” the judge said.
“While pens and pencils will continue to be made available for public use throughout the Court, Security will no longer confiscate these items at the entrance,” he said. more here
