Brooklyn legal community hails new state court system budget
The legal community in Brooklyn and throughout New York state yesterday hailed the newly released New York State Unified Court System Budget for 2013-14.
The General State Charges Major Purpose All Funds budget requirement is $660.7 million, or an increase of $93 million (16.4 percent) over the current year’s adjusted appropriation.
Hon. Barry Kamins, acting administrative judge for civil matters, 2nd Judicial District, said, “Judge [Gail] Prudenti had to balance the needs of the judicial and non-judicial staff with our responsibility as a partner in government. That is why we will have to do more with less in the coming year.”
