Excellence Initiative : Outreach for Comments |
The Fund for Modern Courts, founded in 1955 by concerned citizens, prominent lawyers, and business leaders, is an independent, statewide court reform organization committed to improving the judicial system for all New Yorkers. Modern Courts strives to improve the administration and quality of justice in our courts.
The new Chief Judge of the State of New York, the Hon. Janet DiFiore, announced an Excellence Initiative in February 2016. As stated on the Office of Court Administration website, “Chief Judge DiFiore wants to hear from members of the public, judges, jurors, litigants, attorneys and court employees. The Excellence Initiative involves a detailed and comprehensive evaluation of current court processes and procedures to determine what is working well and what needs to be improved.”
Modern Courts discussed this important initiative with the Office of Court Administration and offered to survey our various email lists, coalitions, board members, business groups, good government groups, law schools, Bar Associations and others – to provide more input for the Chief Judge’s initiative. In this attempt to reach out across the state, we also ask that you share this request with your staff, organization members, email lists and listservs.
If you would prefer to enter comments directly to OCA on its website.
If you wish to enter comments on our survey, which we will compile and share with the Office of Court Administration, please continue with this brief survey.
Thank you
Denise Kronstadt, Esq.
Deputy Executive Director
