New York's political landscape faces significant challenges as the real estate industry's judicial backlogs worsen. Land use attorney Ken Fisher highlights a troubling resistance to proposed reforms aimed at alleviating these backlogs, which are exacerbated by a state constitution that restricts the number of judges. Fisher's concerns stem from personal frustrations with long wait times for legal decisions. Assembly member Alex Bores supports the changes, noting a drastic increase in case filings over the decades, while the judicial system's limitations stem from outdated regulations not reflective of current needs.
Judges are responsible for unmanageable caseloads... I have waited a year for a motion decision and three years or more for an appellate decision.
The dumbest reason why we are so backlogged is that we don't have enough judges... Caseloads are three times greater than they were 60 years ago.
