OUR COURTS
RESOLVE PERSONAL, BUSINESS AND PROPERTY DISPUTES.
|
|
THE BUSINESS
COMMUNITY IS A MAJOR USER OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
|
|
THE ABILITY TO
RESOLVE COMMERCIAL DISPUTES IN A FAIR AND TIMELY FASHION IS OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
THE INABILITY TO DO SO RESULTS IN LOST PROFITS, INCREASED LITIGATION
COSTS, AND LOWER PRODUCTIVITY.
|
|
THERE WERE ABOUT
1.2 MILLION CIVIL CASES FILED IN OUR COURT SYSTEM LAST YEAR. NON-CRIMINAL CASES INCLUDE CIVIL, DOMESTIC
RELATIONS, PROBATE, JUVENILE DEPENDENCY, AND CIVIL TRAFFIC.
|
|
CLEARLY, AN
ADEQUATELY FUNDED CIVIL COURT SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL FOR BUSINESS AND COMMERCE,
AND DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE ECONOMIC HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITIES.
