Construction Defect Attorney in California – Fund the Courts!

The judiciary is one of the three branches of our state and federal government and a cornerstone of the “checks and balance” system in our democracy.

Alexander Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers that the judiciary “…is in continual jeopardy of being overpowered, awed, or influenced by the other branches.” This prophetic sentiment cannot be understated in the context of our present California court system. In the last 5 years the California Legislature and the Governor have made and approved unprecedented cuts of over $1 billion from the State Court budget.

The budget cuts have caused massive layoffs and court closures, which hurt the economy, however, that is not the worst of the economic impact. Imagine a fledgling business in a new industry having contract dispute that could mean the life or death of the new business. The courts are the only body with the authority to consider the dispute and order bad actors to comply with the law. In the past resolution could generally be had within six months to a year. With the underfunded court system now limping along, the new business would be lucky if their case was heard within 18 months of filing and could expect at least two full years to pass. This type of delay and uncertainty will further harm California’s fragile economic recovery by driving new business to a state with a functioning and predictable court system.
