Budget Crisis Affects Utah Official Court Reporters!
Posted in: Uncategorized
All 18 official court reporters in Utah received notice that their positions in the Utah court system will be eliminated as of June 30, 2009.
Why is their position being eliminated? Because of the budget crisis throughout their state and a decision by their Judicial Council, who voted to eliminate their position.
Why is this something you need to think about? Because these official reporters were not given any notice that a vote was even taking place! They had no idea their jobs were on the line.
COCRA and your other associations are taking a proactive approach to making sure California doesn’t go through a crisis such as happened in Utah.
The PAJTF, Preserving Access to Justice Task Force, within COCRA is taking action. In fact, the PAJTF has a meeting scheduled today with officials in the Bay Area to implement our message to administrators, legislators, and others who play an active role in our future.
Please support your association and help keep officials working and protecting the rights of fellow Californians when involved in the legal process!
Truly,
THE COCRA TEAM

Glad to know COCRA’s lobbyist is on what’s going on in Sacto.! Those poor reporters in Utah. I can’t imagine how they must have felt.
