  • Lasc to Open Courtrooms April 16 at Historic Spring Street Federal Courthouse in Downtown Los Angeles
    Los Angeles Superior Court – Public Information Office 111 N. Hill Street, Room 107, Los Angeles, CA 90012 [email protected] www.lacourt.org NEWS RELEASE March 8, 2018 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LASC TO OPEN COURTROOMS APRIL 16 AT HISTORIC SPRING STREET FEDERAL COURTHOUSE IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES The Los Angeles Superior Court (LASC) has announced that the complex civil litigation program located at Central Civil West (CCW) Courthouse and some civil courtrooms at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse will relocate to the historic Spring Street Federal Courthouse, located at 312 N. Spring St., Los Angeles, in mid-April, with hearings set to begin April 16. Designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood and Louis A. Simon as a major example of Art Moderne architecture, the Spring Street Courthouse was completed in 1940 and originally served as both a courthouse and post office. It was the third federal building constructed in Los Angeles to serve its rapidly growing population in the early twentieth century. Since the mid-1960s, it has functioned solely as a courthouse, most recently for judges from the United States District Court, Central District of California before their relocation in 2016 to the new First Street Federal Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles. “Relocating to the Spring Street Courthouse will enable us to expand access to justice,” said LASC Presiding Judge Daniel J. Buckley. “LASC is honored to help preserve this national historic landmark as a place for the administration of justice.” Savings from the relocation of the complex litigation program will offset much of the costs of the Spring Street Courthouse lease, providing opportunities for expanding courtrooms without additional cost.

In downtown Los Angeles, California, million remains appropriated for the construction of a 41-courtroom L.A. one of the nation’s busiest federal Courthouse. Project delays were caused by GSA’s decision to design a larger district courts (L.A. Court), the courthouse than what was authorized by Congress, slow decision making by federal judiciary has split its GSA and the judiciary to reduce scope and stay on budget, unforeseen cost district, magistrate, and bankruptcy escalations, and low contractor interest that caused GSA to cancel the entire judges between two buildings—the 41-courtroom courthouse project.

However, project delays, unforeseen cost escalation, Services Administration (GSA) and low contractor interest had caused GSA to cancel the project in 2006 before proposed building a new courthouse in any construction took place. GSA later identified other options for housing the Los Angeles to increase security, L.A.
