Description:
Join us for a discussion of the City Bar's recently issued report setting forth a new approach to assessing judicial needs.  After a careful study of the judicial assessment protocols of the other 49 states, the City Bar recommends a metric based procedure for New York State. The report, among other recommendations, emphasizes the need to repeal the state’s constitutional cap on the size of the judiciary. The program will present a panel of the report’s authors who will discuss the nuances of the committee’s recommendations.
