Every person who enters the courthouse is first screened for fever, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and is asked if they have been exposed to anyone who has had or come into contact with the virus. Judges are not exempt from these screenings, as the officers are vigilant to ensure the health and safety of everyone who visits the building. This is just another example of the new normal we are living in, but Clements has seen plenty of positives throughout the ordeal.
“It’s really interesting how this has brought us all together,” says Clements. “We are all united in fighting against this common enemy and my interactions with people have been extremely positive. Things may not be easy right now, but that unity is nice to see and gives everyone hope that we will get through this together.”
