Interested in California’s court budget? This analysis from the Legislative Analyst’s Office, The 2017-18 Budget: Judicial Branch, lays out some of the key things to know about how the courts are spending money.

In this web post, we provide an overview of the judicial branch and the level of funding proposed in the Governor’s 2017-18 budget. We also assess and make recommendations on two specific judicial branch proposals. The first proposal consists of a $4.1 million augmentation to replace case management systems in nine trial courts. The second proposal consists of a $842,000 augmentation to support various court interpreter-related activities, including a video remote interpreting pilot.
