Amid an ever worsening state court funding crisis, The Boston Bar Journal (BBJ) today announced that starting with its Fall issue, the BBJ will launch a series providing first hand accounts that detail the impact of inadequate state court funding.
In Justice Denied: The Ramifications of the Trial Court Budget Cuts, Manisha Bhatt, a Senior Attorney in the Family Unit at Greater Boston Legal Services, takes her readers inside the Probate and Family Court as she works to help a client in crisis. In This Week in Housing Court, Judge Robert Fields, writes about a court where the adage “do more with less” has reached its limit due to the fiscal constraints of the Trial Court — not withstanding diligent efforts by staff to be responsive to litigants whose matters are anything but routine.
