The federal government is considering closing dozens of courtrooms across the country, many located in small, rural communities, as part of an effort to cut costs. The Associated Press obtained documents showing that 60 federal court facilities in 29 states could be on the chopping block. Most of the courtrooms are in buildings that house other federal agencies including in post offices and many are located in remote [...] LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

Take courtrooms. They are the epitome of the public place, and almost everything that goes on in them is public. Yet most judges have standing orders prohibiting cell phones, cameras, or recording equipment in their courts without prior permission. Cell phone cameras [...] The bucket’s leaking & they’re just pouring in more water. The significance of geographic proximity in terms of trade has been hugely exaggerated by Europhiles. Whether the country is just across the channel or in Asia makes practically no difference. We simply need to buy from the cheapest & sell for the highest. The world is a market place. We don’t need to be in a cosy club run by bureaucratic parasites tying [...] By Barry Wood ATHENS (MarketWatch) — Things are calmer this week in Syntagma Square after days of violent clashes between hooded protesters and police. But the remnants of violence are everywhere. The posh hotels on one side of the square have covered over missing steps where protesters removed slabs of marble, smashing them to the pavement to make jagged rocks to hurl at police. Piles of rotting [...] Next up for protesters: Occupy the Courts. Lawyers representing about 800 Occupy Wall Street protesters arrested in the past month demand that prosecutors drop the charges. If not, they say they won’t deal and will insist on going to trial – putting pressure on the already overloaded Manhattan criminal courts. “I’d like to suggest to the DA’s office the appropriate way to deal with these cases is outright dismissal,” said defense lawyer Martin [...] Debbie Egan-Chin/News Mary Ward, 82, is being booted from the house she’s lived in for 44 years. She received 18 letters on the same day last week informing of the imminent eviction. Feisty great-grandmother Mary Lee Ward has been battling to keep her modest Brooklyn house since the late 1990s. The victim of a predatory subprime mortgage lender that went bankrupt in the housing crash four years ago, Ward has nearly [...] 1) Yields soar on Spanish bonds “Spain was forced to offer sharply higher returns on Tuesday to sell 4.45 billion euros ($6.32 billion) in government bonds as investors worried over sovereign debt burdens in the eurozone. On the 12-month bonds, the average rate or yield soared to 3.702 percent from 2.695 percent at the last such auction on June 14. For 18-month bonds, the yield was up to 3.912 percent from [...] Image: Wikipedia In the face of extreme budget cuts the San Francisco Superior Court announced Monday it’s reducing staff by more than 40 percent and closing 25 courtrooms.In an article by the Sacramento Bee, Judge Katherine Feinstein claimed the reductions are required to close a $13.75 million fiscal gap caused by state budget cuts. Because of the reduction it will take up to 18 months to conclude a [...] SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Superior Court announced Monday that it’s laying off more than 40 percent of its staff and shuttering 25 courtrooms because of budget cuts. Presiding Judge Katherine Feinstein said the actions were necessary to close a $13.75 million budget deficit caused by state budget cuts. She said the cuts mean it will take many more hours to pay [...] Some lawmakers, judges and regulators are trying to rein in the U.S. debt-collection industry’s use of arrest warrants to recoup money owed by borrowers who are behind on credit-card payments, auto loans and other bills. More than a third of all U.S. states allow borrowers who can’t or won’t pay to be jailed. Judges have signed off on more than 5,000 such warrants since the start [...] Businesses will only make something if the costs are justified in doing so, not by shouting at them.Unions shout at businesses. Politicians shout at businesses. Lawyers in courtrooms shout like televangelists and lie to juries about the cruel businesses they decide to piece apart. The democrats wonder aloud why businesses offshore jobs, but then they raise the cost of American labor through the EEOC, OSHA, worker’s comp costs and mandates, abusive torts and a morally gangrene BAR, new sexual harassment laws, new ADA laws, new whistleblower laws, higher [...] |
