New Judgeships Number Slashed

About Judgeships

Hello Everyone:

The Press Enterprise tells us this morning (8-18-06) ["Bill Slashes New Judgeships in Half" read the article here] that Fabian Nunez, our Assembly Speaker, has cut the new judgeships from 50 back to 25. Even the additional 100 (50-50) as I have been explaining, is in jeopardy. It you have any influence, at all, with anyone up there, please call and write them TODAY.

If any potentially good news remains is that San Bernardino, per the Judicial Council formula, was to receive 5 of the first 25 judgeship and the formula only gave San Bernardino two or three more judgeships with the next 25.

Of course the number was originally 150, 50 per year over 3 years.

Regrettably

Will Schneider, Jr.
Past Pres., SBCBA
