ACT TO SUPPORT INCREASED FUNDING
FOR OUR COURTS

Fiscal year 2013 begins on July 1, 2012.  Current proposals fund the trial courts at $8 Million below Governor Patrick's recommendation. 
The MBA has launched a high profile awareness campaign on the effects of underfunded courts. Since our Chapter is an affiliated association member of the MBA, we would like to (and need to) join in the fight!

Contact your representatives to urge them to support increased funding for the courts.  Personal stories of your challenges and frustrations and the impact on your clients may be particularly effective. 
Click here for contact information for your local representatives.
