CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE T. ROGERS OBJECTS TO MODEST BUDGET CUTS!

Apparently, the State of Connecticut's budget proposal's primary recommendation for the CT Judicial Branch is to dismantle the organizational and management infrastructure of its Court Support Services Division and place its various functions in multiple Executive Branch agencies.  For more information on this, see below:

  1. The family courts lack efficiency and have poor outcomes. The argument in opposition to the governor's budget cuts Is flawed because there is no need to show how cuts would result in "greater efficiencies or better outcomes in the.... family court system" when the family court is performing poorly to begin with and needs an overhaul.

    1. The juvenile and adult systems overseen by the court support service division are what the statement references. The juvenile track record in CT since reforms have been a model for the entire US in their effectiveness and efficiencies. It is not discussing the family court system.

  2. According to the Law Tribune, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's proposed budget for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 calls for eliminating the Court Support Services Division of the Judicial Branch, which would move juvenile services to DCF and other functions such as adult probation to the Department of Correction. Looks like Family Relations is done.
