This case is about public access to the courts, specifically child dependency proceedings. 

On November 13, 2024, the Civil Rights Corps filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. Represented by a private law firm, the Civil Rights Corps sued the District Judge for the 14th Judicial District in Durham County and the sheriff of Durham County under the right of access to dependency proceedings under the First Amendment. The plaintiff argued that the defendants violated the First Amendment by repeatedly excluding Civil Rights Corps’ attorneys from observing child dependency proceedings in Durham County. The Civil Rights Corps sought (1) to prohibit the defendants from enforcing closed dependency proceedings that were issued without notice, an opportunity to be heard, consideration of alternatives, and a reasonable explanation that the exclusion was necessary, and (2) attorney’s fees and litigation costs.

On December 2, 2024, the Civil Rights Corps filed a motion for preliminary injunction.

On January 13, 2025, the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts, on behalf of its Office of Guardian ad Litem Services, moved to intervene. On the same day, one of the defendant District Judge filed a motion to dismiss.

On February 13, 2025, the other defendant sheriff filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.

As of April 16, 2025, the case is ongoing.
