    2005 Annual Report a Message from Chief Justice Karla M

    Montana’s Judicial Branch 2005 Annual Report A message from Chief Justice Karla M. Gray 2005 was a year of accomplishments and challenges for Montana’s Judiciary. On the personal side, 2005 marked a milestone for me - the start of my 15th year of service on the Supreme Court and my 5th year as Chief Justice. In those years, I have found much to be proud of in Montana’s court system, and 2005 is no exception. Judges continued to face daunting and increasingly complex caseloads at all levels. I can say with great pride that judges and their staffs at all levels meet these demands head on with a keen awareness of how much we owe to the public we serve. Our citizens are well served by such dedicated public servants. In many ways, 2005 was a watershed year for the state court system. For the first time since the state assumed funding of the District Courts, the Judiciary presented a legislative package that articulated the real needs in Montana trial courts. Very quickly – more so than I would have anticipated – the court system emerged from the chaos that surrounded state assumption with a unifed focus on what the Judicial Branch needs to meet our constitutional duties to the citizens of Montana. The 2005 Legislature’s creation of the state Office of the Public Defender ultimately will focus court activities back to core judicial tasks. This new office will remove the payment of indigent defense costs from the Judicial Branch and place it under an independent commission. This cost has been the single biggest budget challenge facing the court system.
