Juvenile Court closed in Detroit because of heat. 

It's too hot for justice.

Authorities canceled hearings Monday in Wayne County Juvenile Court because of "extreme temperatures" inside the building in Detroit.

Weather forecasters are predicting a high of 90 degrees outside the court. High temps should be in the 80s for the rest of the week.
