The SF Examiner is tracking the state budget impacts on courts in San Mateo County. This excerpt is not encouraging
For a county court system already racked by years of cutbacks, Presiding Judge Beth Labson Freeman said trial delays could have a tremendous effect on the community. For instance, child-custody and child-support cases could take a year or more to come to hearing, potentially leaving children in jeopardy, she said. Meanwhile, small-claims cases could take two to four years to get to trial
Two to four years? Ugh
