Issues of Importance

Current issues that the AJC is working on include:

Reducing appellate court delay;
Providing leadership on improving judicial salaries, retirement plans and working conditions;
Developing important ABA policies relating to judicial administration;
Remedying inadequate resources for appellate courts;
Improving public perception of the courts;
Enhancing judicial independence; and
Promoting Fair and Impartial Courts.

As the American population becomes more sophisticated and as public discourse becomes more critical, the courts and judicial system are being increasingly scrutinized. Membership in CAL is a way for you, as a vital member of the legal community, to ensure that your voice and concerns are heard and acted upon. Through the national voice that the ABA provides, CAL plays a leading role in defining, supporting and maintaining the efficiency and independence of the state and federal appellate judiciary.
