CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina Chief Justice Sarah Parker says the need for an efficient and accessible court system is greatest when the economy at its worst.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Parker told those at a Chapel Hill dinner Wednesday night that cost-cutting required by the recession has strained the state court system and its ability to guard the public.
Parker says the work overload in the courts is "mind-boggling" and that adequate court funding will be a problem for at least a year or two longer.
Parker spoke at an event sponsored by the North Carolina Press Association. All seven justices on the Supreme Court attended.
