LA Superior Court to lay off 329 employees on April 1

Los Angeles Superior Court officials informed employees that 329 of them will be laid off on April 1 because of the ongoing budget crisis. A memo from Executive Officer John Clarke said as many as 1,800 more positions will be lost to layoffs and attrition in the next four years or so. "This is one of the saddest days for the L.A. Superior Court in its history," Clarke said in an interview. "This is an unprecedented layoff." Layoff notices will go out on March 16. After that, the court will provide workshops to assist with unemployment insurance, working with the county’s retirement plan and health benefits.
