Why split the family division from Superior Court when there is not enough staff to handle the clerical duties. It can take up to 8 weeks for a desicion mailed. Just getting a court date can take months.
I have contacted state Representative David Cote to see if this volunteer task force idea would be feasible.
It seems reasonable that technical experts in New Hampshire would want to help modernize our Judicial branch. The improvements in efficiency and communication would allow for a more streamlined system that would save taxpayers money and reduce the downtime for cases that was talked about so frequently on the show. Having a volunteer force would also relieve even the immediate tax burden from the creation of such a system (aside from the hardware infrastructure that might be needed to support it).
I meant "cases that were talked about," not "cases that was talked about." My apologies for the typo. =)
