State Cuts Lead to Judicial Triage

Shrinking the E.R. of Democracy?

31 July 2012

California’s “fabric of ordered liberty” is being torn to shreds by the state’s latest round of budget cuts to the judiciary. In the past four years the judicial branch has suffered $653 million in cuts — a nearly 32 percent reduction in general fundsupport — $606 million of it taken from the trial courts alone. The current state budget siphons an additional $544 million from the judiciary.
