I'm humbled to be assuming the role of Chief Justice in the Judicial Branch. I'd like to express my gratitude towards Judith Mason for her service and all she's done as Chief Justice. I am excited to work together with her and Colt Daniels to ensure the development and future of the Judicial Branch.
The truth is, despite some of our best efforts, we have failed to provide you with quick and efficient responses on the docket, which caused unnecessary delays to our Superior and Appeals Courts. I will work hard to make sure that the Judicial Branch reaches its potential, giving both Citizens and Law Enforcement Officers a Justice System they can trust and rely on.
To keep the public in the loop on what exactly we will be doing to ensure this, among other things, we will be listening to the concerns of the public regarding wait times for cases, attempting to rectify that with implemented response times to ensure your right to a speedy trial under the 6th Amendment of the Constitution of our state.
Internally, we will be taking some time to reevaluate our procedures and handbooks to make sure they are up-to-date. We want the public to be informed about the changes we make, which is why you will be notified when something is implemented, so you can keep track of the progress we are making.
As mentioned above, in the coming months, the Judicial Branch is looking to repair and upgrade the foundation this branch was built on, fixing the problems that were apparent to us all in 2023. Please bear with us as we all work together to ensure a better future for the Judicial Branch and the State of San Andreas.
