State Court Budget Shortfalls

Results of the survey, issued by the National Center for State Courts and released on Nov. 29, indicate widespread recent budget cuts — and the public at large is going to feel the impact. A survey issued by the National Center for State Courts warns of the public impact of recent cuts, including 42 states with substantial court budget decreases; 39 states where clerk vacancies were not filled; 34 states where court staff were laid off; and 23 states with reduced court operating hours. Said one analyst: "It can't get a whole lot worse."
