: Texas Appellate Law BlogChief Justice to Deliver State of Judiciary Address
By D. Todd Smith
Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson (pictured) will deliver his biennial State of the Judiciary address to a combined session of the Legislature on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 11:30 am. You can watch the address live through this link by choosing "Chamber Stream."
Expect the forthcoming budget to be one of the Chief's primary topics. With funding recommendations for the judiciary down 10 percent from 2010-2011, courts (and litigants) are facing tough times. In addition to the reality of staffing reductions, we are in danger of losing the momentum built toward true e-filing in our state appellate courts.
The media is usually quick to comment on these addresses, and the Supreme Court generally publishes the text on its website. I will update this post with that sort of information as it becomes available.
