    115 STATE STREET, PHONE: (802) 828-2228 MONTPELIER, VT 05633-5201 FAX: (802) 828-2424 STATE OF VERMONT SENATE CHAMBER MEMORANDUM To: Honorable Paul Reiber, Chief Justice, Vermont Supreme Court From: Senator c 'ard Sears, Chair, Senate Committee on Judiciary Senator el, Chair, Senate Committee on Appropriations Date: February 015 Subject: Judiciary Budget We recognize that the Judiciary, like the Legislature, is a separate branch of government and has an extremely difficult job balancing fiscal resources against its mission that has as its key elements: the provision of equal access to justice, protection of individual rights, and the resolution of legal disputes fairly and in a timely manner. We commend the Judiciary for its willingness to work with us to address the fiscal challenges that we have faced over the years. As you know we again face a serious fiscal challenge in the upcoming FY 2016 budget. With the revenue downgrade we are facing a total shortfall for FY 2016 of $112 million in the General Fund. This represents an 8% shortfall from the resources needed to fund current services. The Governor's fiscal year 2016 budget includes a savings target of $500,000 for Judicial operations. The budget also envisioned potential reductions in FY 2016 pay act funding and other personnel savings which could create additional pressures on the Judiciary budget and the criminal justice system generally. The Governor further proposed language in the Budget Adjustment bill for a plan to produce such savings to be submitted by prior to March 31, 2015. As was the case in the House, we have chosen not to include any specific language in the Budget Adjustment bill regarding FY 2016 reduction.

    REMARKS Before the American Bar Association House of Delegates Honorable Nathan L. Hecht Chief Justice, The Supreme Court of Texas President, The Conference of Chief Justices February 17, 2020 — Austin, Texas Chairman Bay, President Martinez, Members of the American Bar Association House of Delegates. I wish I weren’t here. Not that I don’t consider it a privilege to address you as President of the national Conference of Chief Justices. I do. It’s just that my predecessor, Chief Justice Mark Cady of Iowa, should be standing where I am—and he would be, but for his sudden and unexpected death in November. I know Mark looked forward to being here. The Conference of Chief Justices is comprised of the presiding judges of the high courts in the states, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories and commonwealths—58 members in all. Since 1949, the Conference has provided leadership for the state courts. Communication with you as leaders of the legal profession is critical. I miss Mark Cady, but I can channel him for you. Mark’s first words as President of the Conference were these: “I hope we can use our collective voices to expand a national conversation of promoting public trust and confidence in our state courts.” He was concerned that justice “endure”—his word. That justice, a fundamental value of our democracy, endure? Is it threatened? Yes, always. Mark knew personally that justice has many powerful enemies. Years ago, in reaction to an unpopular decision he authored, voters refused to retain three members of the Iowa Supreme Court.

  • Selection to the Kansas Supreme Court
    Selection to the Kansas Supreme Court by Stephen J. Ware NOVEMBER KANSAS 2007 ABOUT THE FEDERALIST SOCIETY Th e Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is an organization of 40,000 lawyers, law students, scholars, and other individuals, located in every state and law school in the nation, who are interested in the current state of the legal order. Th e Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy questions, but is founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. Th e Federalist Society takes seriously its responsibility as a non-partisan institution engaged in fostering a serious dialogue about legal issues in the public square. We occasionally produce “white papers” on timely and contentious issues in the legal or public policy world, in an eff ort to widen understanding of the facts and principles involved, and to continue that dialogue. Positions taken on specifi c issues in publications, however, are those of the author, and not refl ective of an organization stance. Th is paper presents a number of important issues, and is part of an ongoing conversation. We invite readers to share their responses, thoughts and criticisms by writing to us at [email protected], and, if requested, we will consider posting or airing those perspectives as well. For more information about Th e Federalist Society, please visit our website: www.fed-soc.org.
