FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 23, 2026 – As the commonwealth experiences inclement weather this winter, the Kentucky Court of Justice website is the go-to source for the latest updates on court schedules and closings.
Weather-related closures and scheduling adjustments for judicial centers/courthouses in each county are determined locally by the chief circuit judge in consultation with the chief district judge and circuit court clerk. To check for closings and schedule changes, see the top of the Kentucky Court of Justice homepage at kcoj.info/KCOJhomepage.
For more information and to verify the schedule of a judicial center/courthouse not listed on the homepage, please contact the circuit court clerk’s office in the appropriate county at kcoj.info/Counties.
As of this writing, the Administrative Office of the Courts is scheduled to operate on its regular schedule Monday, Jan. 26. If the AOC schedule changes, it will issue an additional news release.
