: court-o-rama.orgCan Your Court Spare $800,000?
By Anne Skove, Esq.
The inexplicably landlocked Rhode Island is facing a huge deficit. To help out, the state court system has volunteered to contribute $800,000 of its own money.
The money comes from Superior Court arbitration fees. Per statute, those fees were supposed to have been deposited into the state's general fund. Per court rule, the fees were supposed to be used to pay for the court's arbitration program. (Court rules prevail.) The high amount of unclaimed funds was not anticipated.
What would you do for your state?
Will the legislature remember this generosity when the good times return?
How "dangerous" is the judicial branch now?
