JUDICIARY 2012-2013 BUDGET REQUEST EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Judiciarys budget request for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 reflects the court systems continuing commitment to work with the other branches of government in addressing the States fiscal crisis, while ensuring that the courts are also able to provide timely and fair justice to all New Yorkers. The current economic recession has presented the New York courts with a daunting challenge: the need to achieve austerity comes at a time when the courts are continuing to experience record-level caseloads. In the face of this heavy workload, and in response to the imperative to reduce costs, the court system has undertaken a comprehensive and systemic review of its operations. The court system has streamlined administration, eliminated or reduced programs that are not critical to its core mission, modified court operations, and cut all but essential expenditures. The vast majority of the Judiciary budget supports personnel, so controlling those costs is critical. Over the past two fiscal years, as a result of participation in the Early Retirement Incentive Program, targeted layoffs, a hiring freeze, and other measures, the non-judicial workforce of the court system has been reduced by more than 1,300 positions, a reduction of more than eight percent. In response to this reduction in the workforce, the Judiciary has reassessed its operations and developed plans to improve efficiencies. The goal is not just to cut costs, but to rethink the way that we do business and to find better and smarter ways of working. Among the specific measures that have been implemented are: Modification of court operations, including restructuring of weekend arraignment shifts in New York City, and a reduced number of evening sessions for Small Claims Court, has dramatically reduced overtime expenditures. Administrative functions have been streamlined, and offices and programs that provide services to the courts and the public, such as law libraries and court interpreters, have been reorganized or consolidated, to make more efficient use of staff and to improve service. For example, in many counties throughout the State a single chief clerk now manages all courts in the county. Similarly, the centralized deployment of Sign Language interpreters to courts throughout New York City maximizes the use of staff interpreters and reduces the need for per diem interpreters, while also improving service to the public. The purchase of print legal materials has been sharply reduced in favor of on-line materials that are available under flat-rate agreements with legal publishers. Funding was eliminated for a number of programs that were important, but not essential, such as the Parent Education Program and the Lawyers Assistance Trust Program. Funding for other programs, such as the Childrens Centers and the Alternative Dispute Resolution Program, was reduced.

Funding for Judicial Hearing Officers was dramatically decreased. Leases have been terminated and court personnel have been consolidated to reduce real estate costs. Web-based training has largely replaced in-person training for Judges and court personnel.

Automation continues to play a central role in transforming the way the courts do business. E-filing, which allows parties to file and serve legal documents electronically, offers significant savings and convenience to the courts, the County Clerks, attorneys and litigants. Other automation initiatives that have streamlined court operations, improved efficiency, and reduced costs include online attorney registration, inter-agency electronic transmission of data in criminal and family court cases, and deployment of Internet Protocol telephones, which operate over the court systems own data network, to virtually eliminate monthly telephone charges. In the upcoming fiscal year, the court system is facing approximately $70 million in cost increases, including $27.7 million for the first judicial pay increase in more than 13 years, and more than $21.3 million for contractually-required increments for eligible non-judicial employees. However, as a result of the ongoing operational review and the specific cost-cutting measures discussed above, the Judiciary is able to present a proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 that represents a slight reduction, in both appropriation and cash, from the current year budget. The grand total General Fund appropriation request for 2012-2013 is $2.30 billion, a $3.9 million (or .17 percent) decrease from current year funding. The grand total General Fund cash disbursement requirement for 2012-2013 is $2.31 billion, a $3.5 million (or .15 percent) decrease from the current year cash level. The proposed budget is austere, as is required in these times, and will require that the Judiciary continue to reduce costs and seek ways to make the court system work better and smarter. The budget provides the minimum funds the Judiciary needs; any further reduction would seriously jeopardize the ability of the courts to fulfill their core mission. The budget would permit the courts to modify at least some of the measures that had the most immediate and direct negative impact on court users, including backlogs and delays. For example, this budget will permit some relaxation of the early closing times that were implemented this year. While the total size of the court systems non-judicial workforce will decrease further, the budget will allow the courts to fill a few critical operational positions that maximize the efficiency of the courts. With careful management, the proposed budget will enable the New York courts to fulfill their core mission. In that regard, the budget provides funding to address a troubling issue that goes to the heart of the courts mission providing equal justice to the millions of litigants who appear each year without counsel in eviction, foreclosure, domestic violence, consumer debt, and other cases involving the essentials of life. The lack of representation in these cases imposes a profound human and social toll on the most vulnerable New Yorkers. But the impact goes far beyond the nonrepresented parties judges bear significant burdens, including more and longer court appearances, when they hear cases in which a party is not represented. The result is delay and inefficiency, as well as increased costs, both to the court system and to represented parties.

The proposed budget reflects the Judiciarys continued commitment to reassessing how to best, and most efficiently, serve the justice needs of all New Yorkers. It also reflects a very careful balancing of the Judiciarys obligation to work with the other Branches of government in addressing the States fiscal crisis, while also ensuring that the courts can fulfill their core mission and meet their constitutional obligations.

Judiciary 2012-13 Budget Request Introduction The Judiciary. The Judiciary is one of the three branches of New York State government. Article VI of the State Constitution establishes the Judiciary as the Unified Court System for the State, defines the organization and jurisdiction of the courts, and provides for the administrative supervision of the courts by a Chief Administrator on behalf of the Chief Judge of the State. The objectives of the Judiciary are to: (1) provide a forum for the peaceful, fair and prompt resolution of civil and family disputes, criminal charges, disputes between citizens and the state, and challenges to government action; (2) supervise the administration of decedents estates; (3) preside over adoptions and proceedings to protect children and the mentally-ill; and (4) regulate the admission of lawyers to the Bar and their conduct and discipline. New Yorks court system is one of the largest and busiest in the western world. It consists of nine major trial courts and three separate appellate courts, employing nearly 1,300 judges and 16,000 nonjudicial employees; and some 1,300 Town and Village Justice Courts, employing about 2,000 Justices. Administration of the Judiciary. The administrative structure of this court system is prescribed by the State Constitution, which denominates the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals as the head of the Judiciary. The Chief Judge is authorized to adopt administrative policy for the courts after consultation with the Administrative Board of the Courts (comprised of the Chief Judge and the Presiding Justices of the four Appellate Divisions) and approval by the Court of Appeals. With the advice and consent of the Administrative Board, the Chief Judge also appoints a Chief Administrator of the Courts who is responsible for supervising the day to day administration and operation of the trial courts. The Appellate Divisions and the Court of Appeals are responsible for the administration and operation of their courts. In discharge of his or her responsibility for managing the trial courts, the Chief Administrator designates two Deputy Chief Administrative Judges, one for the New York City Courts and one for the courts outside the City, along with a corps of Administrative Judges who, on the Chief Administrators behalf, supervise court operations in the States Judicial Districts ([see map that follows of 13 Judicial Districts]). In some instances, Supervising Judges also are designated to assist the Chief Administrator, the Deputy Chief Administrative Judges and the Administrative Judges. By statute and by direction of the Chief Judge, the Chief Administrator also establishes the administrative office of the courts. This office is bifurcated into the Office of Court Administration within the Administration and General Support Major Purpose, and the Division of Court Support Services within the Courts of Original Jurisdiction Major Purpose. The Office of Court Administration consists of offices that provide legal, policy, fiscal and human resource support to the Chief Administrator. The Division of Court Support Services assists the Chief Administrator by providing centralized management support to court operations including, technology, personnel, legal information, records management, security and payroll services.

Funding of the Judiciary. By statute, and since the late 1970's, the nine major trial courts (Supreme Courts, Court of Claims, County Courts, Family Courts, Surrogates Courts, New York City Civil and Criminal Courts, District Courts and City Courts outside New York City) and all three appellate courts (Court of Appeals, Appellate Divisions and Appellate Terms) are funded entirely by the State except that local governments, with some limited State financial assistance, bear responsibility for provision of court facilities. The Town and Village Justice Courts, by contrast, are funded by the Towns and Villages in which they sit, although they do receive limited State financial assistance as well.

Major Purpose Description The Courts of Original Jurisdiction (COJ) Major Purpose is comprised of the following program components: Supreme and County Courts, Family Courts, Surrogates Courts, Multi-Bench Courts, City and District Courts, New York City Housing Court, Community Courts, Drug Treatment Courts, Court of Claims, Jury Operations, New York City County Clerks, Law Libraries, the Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution and Court Improvement Programs, Court Support Services, Town and Village Courts, Public Safety, COJ Maintenance Undistributed and Administration. Summary of 2012-13 Funding: Courts of Original Jurisdiction The COJ Major Purpose State Operations All Funds budget request is $1.50 billion, or a decrease of $1.1 million (-0.1%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. The request includes the following: Personal Service The personal service request of $1.31 billion represents an increase of $404,929 (.03%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for existing judicial positions and filled nonjudicial positions with adjustments for changes in certificated justices and their associated staff. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses, uniform allowance and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. Limited funding to allow the trial courts to refill critical operations positions is also reflected. These funding requirements are offset by reappropriation of the funding required for the statutorily mandated judicial salary increase effective April 1, 2012. The personal service request also includes $4.0 million for temporary service for the trial courts in support of ongoing operations, including the New York City County Clerks Offices ($1.1 million), the New York City Commissioner of Jurors Offices ($0.7 million), the New York City Family Court ($0.8 million), and various trial courts outside New York City ($0.4 million). Temporary service funding is also included for six Commercial Division Law Clerks ($0.5 million), and for Acting City, Town and Village Justices and associated legal support ($0.5 million). Also reflected in the personal service request is $9.8 million for overtime. The overtime request, which represents a decrease of $12.2 million from the current year, reflects the implementation of strict controls in the current year. Nonpersonal Service Nonpersonal service funding supports usual and necessary expenses associated with trial court operations, support and administration. These expenses include: office supplies; legal reference materials and on-line services; rentals of equipment; real estate rentals for office and training space; -6-

maintenance agreements for hardware, software and office equipment; payments for jury per diems, lodging and meals; per diem interpreter and court reporter costs; ADR contracts; transcript payments; and contractual security services provided in upstate courts by local law enforcement agencies. Also reflected are appropriations which provide the framework through which federal and other grants are realized. The nonpersonal service request is $187.9 million, or a decrease of $1.5 million (-0.8%) from current year funding. The decrease is attributable to the implementation of cost saving measures in legal reference, real estate rentals, conferences and training, and telephones. These decreases are partially offset by increases in jury per diems, per diem interpreters, accounting and auditing services associated with e-filing costs, and contractual increases in computer assisted legal research.

COURTS OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION SUPREME AND COUNTY COURTS PROGRAM

2012-13 Budget Request: $421,243,324

Program Description This Program includes funding for operations in Supreme and County Courts. The request includes funding for Certificated Justices of the Supreme Court; and for operation of the Small Claims Assessment Review (SCAR) Program. Supreme Court: The Supreme Court is the highest trial court of the State. It is established in all 62 counties and vested with unlimited civil and criminal jurisdiction, although, in practice, it acts primarily as a court of civil jurisdiction outside New York City. In New York City, however, it hears all felony cases in criminal terms and all major civil cases in civil terms. County Court: There is a County Court established for each of the 57 counties outside New York City. It retains unlimited criminal jurisdiction and jurisdiction of civil claims not exceeding $25,000. In practice, however, it is almost exclusively a criminal court, hearing all felony cases in the county in which it is established. In many smaller counties, where there is no separate Family and/or Surrogates Court, the Legislature has directed that the County Court Judge act as Family Court Judge and/or Surrogate as well. Where this occurs, the affected County Court is termed a Multi-Bench Court and it is funded under the Multi-Bench Courts Program. Acting Justices of the Supreme Court: Under the State Constitution, the Legislature is limited in its ability to increase the number of Supreme Court Justices in a Judicial District to meet workload needs. Accordingly, pursuant to authority granted by the Constitution, the Chief Administrative Judge temporarily assigns many Court of Claims Judges, county-level Judges and New York City Civil, Criminal and Family Court Judges to serve as Acting Justices of the Supreme Court. Under the Judiciary Law, a judge whose statutory salary is less than that of a Supreme Court Justice is entitled to a pay differential for the balance. Pay differentials are funded in the program in which a given Acting Supreme Court Justices statutory title resides. Certificated Justices of the Supreme Court: Each Justice of the Supreme Court must retire from office on the last day of the year in which he or she reaches age 70. The position becomes vacant and must be filled by election held the preceding November. The retiring Justice may remain in service as a Certificated Justice for up to three additional two-year terms if he or she is certificated by the Administrative Board of the Courts. Each retired Justice serves full-time, is paid the same salary and exercises the same jurisdiction as elected Justices of the Supreme Court. In addition, Certificated Justices are entitled to the same two nonjudicial support staff as Justices of the Supreme Court. SCAR Program: Title 1A of Article 7 of the Real Property Tax Law establishes the SCAR Program in the Supreme Court. Operating in each county, the SCAR Program permits a homeowner to judicially challenge the real property tax assessment of his or her property, expeditiously and inexpensively, before specially-trained hearing officers.

Summary of 2012-13 Funding Request: Supreme and County Courts

2012-13 Budget Request: $421,243,324 Personal Service: Nonpersonal Service: Maintenance Undistributed: 407,958,552 13,284,772 0

The Supreme and County Courts General Fund budget request is $421.2 million, or an increase of $295,927 (0.1%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $408.0 million represents an increase of $949,911 (0.2%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. This amount includes funding for existing judicial positions and filled nonjudicial positions with adjustments for changes in certificated justices and their associated staff. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses, uniform allowance and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. The temporary service request includes funding for six commercial division law clerks and for part-time legal staff who share a position with an individual in a different title within the legal series. Also included in the personal service request is overtime funding, which represents a decrease of $1.1 million from the current year due to the implementation of strict controls. These funding requirements are also offset by staffing adjustments and reappropriation of the funding required for the statutorily mandated judicial salary increase effective April 1, 2012. Nonpersonal service funding supports usual and necessary expenses associated with court operations, support and administration. These expenses include: supplies and materials, postage and shipping, telephones and transcript costs. The nonpersonal service request is $13.3 million, or a decrease of $653,984 (-4.7%) from current year funding. The decrease is partially attributable to the implementation of cost saving measures in legal reference, conferences and training, and telephones. The reduced request for per diem court interpreters is expenditure-based. Significant savings have been achieved in the SCAR Program because Nassau County has entered into a large-scale settlement pattern with owners grieving their property taxes. These decreases are partially offset by increases in per diem court reporters and transcripts.

COURTS OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION FAMILY COURTS PROGRAM

2012-13 Budget Request:

$161,878,290

Program Description This Program includes funding for operations in Family Courts. Family Court: The Family Court is established as a single citywide court in New York City and as a separate court in each of the 57 counties outside New York City, except that, in many smaller counties, there is no separate Family Court Judge. For such counties, the Legislature has directed that the County Court Judge act as Family Court Judge. Where this occurs, the affected Family Court is termed a Multi-Bench Court and it is funded under the Multi-Bench Courts Program. Family Court exercises jurisdiction over a broad array of matters affecting children and families, including cases involving abuse, neglect, support, paternity, family offense, Persons In Need of Supervision (PINS), juvenile delinquency (JD), guardianship, adoptions, custody/visitation and educational aid to the disabled.

Summary of 2012-13 Funding Request: Family Courts

2012-13 Budget Request: $161,878,290 Personal Service: Nonpersonal Service: Maintenance Undistributed: 153,728,891 8,149,399 0

The Family Courts General Fund budget request is $161.9 million or an increase of $1.4 million (0.9%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $153.7 million represents an increase of $881,204 (0.6%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for existing judicial positions and filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses, uniform allowance and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. The temporary service request includes funding for a digital scanning project in New York City Family Court. These funding requirements are offset by overtime reductions due to strict controls, staffing adjustments and reappropriation of the funding required for the statutorily mandated judicial salary increase effective April 1, 2012. Nonpersonal service funding supports usual and necessary expenses associated with family court operations, support and administration. These expenses include: supplies and materials, postage, printing, records management, equipment rentals and repairs, telephones, per diem interpreters and transcript costs. Funding also includes contractual support for family court justice initiatives in New York City. The nonpersonal service request of $8.1M reflects an increase of $558,610 (7.4%) over current year funding. The increase is attributable to a growing need for per diem interpreters statewide and -22-

to support mediation services in New York City Family Court. Expenditure-based increases for printing and postage are also included. These increases are partially offset by the implementation of cost saving measures in telephones and expenditure-based reductions in transcript costs and equipment repairs.

COURTS OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION SURROGATES COURTS PROGRAM

2012-13 Budget Request:

$45,191,065

Program Description This Program includes funding for operations in Surrogates Courts. Surrogates Court: There is a Surrogates Court established in each of the States 62 counties, except that, in many smaller counties, there is no separate Surrogate. For such counties, the Legislature has directed that the County Court Judge act as the Surrogate. Where this occurs, the affected Surrogates Court is termed a Multi-Bench Court and is funded under the Multi-Bench Courts Program. Surrogates Court exercises jurisdiction over a broad array of matters affecting estates and trusts, including the granting of letters testamentary and letters of administration; the probate of wills; oversight of executors, estate administrators, trustees and guardians; the settlement of accounts of fiduciaries; concurrent jurisdiction with Family Court in the administration of infant guardianships and approval of adoptions; and concurrent jurisdiction with Supreme Court in matters pertaining to guardianships of incompetent persons.

Summary 2012-13 Funding Request: Surrogates Courts

2012-13 Budget Request: $45,191,065 Personal Service: Nonpersonal Service: Maintenance Undistributed: 43,515,022 1,676,043 0

The Surrogates Courts General Fund budget request is $45.2 million, or an increase of $112,366 (0.2%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $43.5 million is an increase of $164,279 (0.4%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for existing judicial positions and filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses, uniform allowance and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. Also included is $114,388 in temporary service costs to account for staff support of ongoing workload requirements, as well as part-time legal staff who share a position with an individual in a different title within the legal series. These funding requirements are offset by staffing adjustments and reappropriation of the funding required for the statutorily mandated judicial salary increase effective April 1, 2012. Nonpersonal service funding supports usual and necessary expenses associated with the operation and support of the Surrogates Court. These expenses include: per diem court interpreters, transcripts, telephones, equipment rentals, printing, and postage and shipping.

-26-

The nonpersonal service request of $1.7 million represents a decrease of $51,913 (-3.0%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. This decrease is principally attributable to cost savings in telephones, as well as expenditure-based reductions in records management, repairs of equipment, printing, and office supplies and materials.

COURTS OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION CITY AND DISTRICT COURTS PROGRAM

2012-13 Budget Request:

$221,301,769

Program Description This Program includes funding for operations in City Courts outside New York City, the Nassau and Suffolk County District Courts, the New York City Civil Court, the New York City Criminal Court, and the Arbitration Program pursuant to CPLR 3405. City Courts Outside New York City: There are 61 City Courts outside New York City; 11 are comprised solely of full-time judges, 34 are comprised of a mix of full and part-time judges, and 16 are comprised exclusively of part-time judges. These Courts have civil jurisdiction over monetary claims of up to $15,000 (including small claims and commercial claims of up to $5,000), landlord/tenant matters and traffic matters. They also exercise criminal jurisdiction that includes authority to arraign defendants on felony charges and to hear misdemeanor and violation cases. Nassau and Suffolk County District Courts: The Constitution authorizes establishment of District Courts in counties and parts of counties following local initiative, State legislative enactment and local voter approval. At present, there are two such District Courts, one in Nassau County and one in Suffolk County. Like the City Courts, the District Courts have civil jurisdiction over monetary claims of up to $15,000 (including small claims and commercial claims of up to $5,000), landlord/tenant matters and traffic matters. They also exercise criminal jurisdiction that includes authority to arraign defendants on felony charges and to hear misdemeanor and violation cases. New York City Civil Court: The Civil Court is a citywide court with civil jurisdiction over monetary claims of up to $25,000 (including small claims and commercial claims of up to $5,000), some equity matters and landlord/tenant matters. To assist in discharge of the latter, the Civil Court has a Housing Part, presided over by quasi-judicial hearing officers called Housing Judges. The Housing Part is not funded under this Program but under the New York City Housing Court Program. New York City Criminal Court: The Criminal Court is a citywide court with criminal jurisdiction that includes authority to arraign defendants on felony charges and to hear misdemeanor and violation cases. Arbitration Program: CPLR 3405 authorizes the Chief Judge, by rule, to require that monetary claims not exceeding $6,000 (not exceeding $10,000 in the NYC Civil Court) brought in certain courts be subject to arbitration, provided that the affected parties are entitled to trial de novo if aggrieved by the award in arbitration. The Chief Judge has promulgated such a rule (22 NYCRR Part 28) and, pursuant to its terms, arbitration is required in approximately one-half the States counties.

2012-13 Budget Request: $221,301,769 Personal Service: Nonpersonal Service: Maintenance Undistributed: 212,540,759 8,761,010 0

The City & District Program General Fund budget request is $221.3 million, or a decrease of $1.4 million (0.6%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $212.5 million represents a decrease of $1.3 million (-0.6%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for existing judicial positions and filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses, uniform allowance and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. Included in this amount is $449,856 in temporary service costs for the use of Acting City Court judges as well as part-time legal staff who share a position with an individual in a different title within the legal series. These funding requirements are offset by staffing adjustments, reductions in overtime due to strict controls and reappropriation of the funding required for the statutorily mandated judicial salary increase effective April 1, 2012. Nonpersonal service funding supports ongoing court operations including records management, per diem interpreters, transcripts, telephones, judicial hearing officers, equipment rentals, printing and shipping and postage. Accounting and auditing services are also included for the use of credit cards to pay fees and fines. The nonpersonal service request of $8.8 million represents a decrease of $77,283 (-0.9%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. This decrease is attributable to cost saving measures and expenditure-based reductions in telephones, per diem court reporters and judicial hearing officers.

2012-13 Budget Request:

$31,890,385

Program Description This Program includes funding for the Housing Part of the New York City Civil Court. Housing Part of the Civil Court: In 1972, the Legislature established a special part of the New York City Civil Court to handle housing code enforcement and landlord/tenant disputes relating to possession of residential property in New York City. The enabling statute (New York City Civil Court Act 110) also established a corps of quasi-judicial hearing officers, designated by the Chief Administrative Judge and now known as Housing Judges, to preside in the Housing Part.

Summary 2012-13 Funding Request: New York City Housing Court

2012-13 Budget Request: $31,890,385 Personal Service: Nonpersonal Service: Maintenance Undistributed: 30,678,083 1,212,302 0

The New York City Housing Court General Fund budget request is $31.9 million, or a decrease of $173,053 (-0.5%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $30.7 million represents a decrease of $186,883 (-0.6%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. This amount includes funding for existing judicial positions and filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses, uniform allowance and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. The temporary service request supports a part-time court attorney who shares a position with an individual in a different title within the legal series. These funding requirements are offset by overtime reductions due to strict controls, staffing adjustments and reappropriation of the funding required for the statutorily mandated judicial salary increase effective April 1, 2012. Nonpersonal service funding supports usual and necessary expenses associated with court operations, support and administration including: postage and shipping, printing and per diem court interpreters. The nonpersonal service request includes funding for a contract to staff information tables in each boroughs Housing Court. The contract also supports individuals who accompany self-represented tenants and owners during hallway negotiations and settlement conferences to encourage them to present their claims and defenses. The nonpersonal service request is $1.2 million, or an increase of $13,830 (1.2%) over current year funding. The increase is almost entirely due to a need for more per diem court interpreters. It is partially offset by expenditure-based reductions in utilities and subscriptions.

COURTS OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION DRUG TREATMENT COURTS PROGRAM

2012-13 Budget Request:

$15,889,431

Program Description This Program includes non-grant supported funding for the operation of Drug Treatment Courts throughout the State. Drug Treatment Courts: Drug Treatment Courts are parts that operate within certain courts that have criminal or family jurisdiction. These forums were established to help individuals and communities break the destructive cycle of repeated drug abuse and arrest. They provide nonviolent drug offenders the opportunity to participate in rehabilitation programs as alternatives to incarceration. During the 1990's when the drug treatment court model was first implemented, Drug Treatment Courts were substantially funded by federal grants. Since then, however, the State has increasingly assumed greater funding responsibility for these programs. The Maintenance Undistributed Program within the Courts of Original Jurisdiction includes funding for anticipated federal grants in support of Drug Treatment Courts.

2012-13 Budget Request: $15,889,431 Personal Service: 14,519,984 Nonpersonal Service: 1,369,447 Maintenance Undistributed: 0

The Drug Treatment Courts General Fund budget request is $15.9 million, or a decrease of $309,413 (-1.9%) from the current adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $14.5 million represents a decrease of $333,837 (-2.2%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses, location pay and uniform allowance, as required by law, for all eligible employees. An overtime request of $69,412 is also reflected. These funding requirements are offset by overtime reductions due to strict controls and staffing adjustments. The nonpersonal service request is $1.4 million, or an increase of $24,424 (1.8%) over current year funding. This request will provide ongoing support for Drug Treatment Court operations, including providing drug testing supplies and services for clients, and training for Treatment Court staff.

COURTS OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION COURT OF CLAIMS PROGRAM

2012-13 Budget Request:

$17,141,750

Program Description This Program includes funding for the operation of the Court of Claims. Court of Claims: The Court of Claims is the exclusive judicial forum for actions brought against New York State and certain State entities like the Thruway Authority and the City University of New York. The Court hears a broad array of tort and contract cases and disputes over compensation awards following exercises of the States power of eminent domain. It exercises its jurisdiction statewide with a presence in venues across New York (including Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, Hauppauge, New York City, Rochester, Saratoga Springs, Syracuse, Utica and White Plains). All actions in the Court of Claims are heard by a judge sitting without a jury.

Summary of 2012-13 Funding Request: Court of Claims

2012-13 Budget Request: $17,141,750 Personal Service: 12,417,285 Nonpersonal Service: 4,724,465 Maintenance Undistributed: 0

The Court of Claims General Fund budget request is $17.1 million, or an increase of $174,249 (1.0%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $12.4 million represents an increase of $265,080 (2.2%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. This amount includes funding for existing judicial positions and filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. These funding requirements are offset by reappropriation of the funding required for the statutorily mandated judicial salary increase effective April 1, 2012. Nonpersonal service funding supports usual and necessary expenses associated with court operations, support and administration including: supplies and materials, postage and shipping and telephones. The nonpersonal service request is $4.7 million, or a decrease of $90,831 (-1.9%) from current year funding. The decrease is attributable to reductions in real estate rentals and other services including maintenance, repair and wiring costs at leased sites across the State. The postage request reflects an expenditure-based reduction. These decreases are partially offset by an increase in travel, as a reduced staffing complement must provide support in multiple locations.

COURTS OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION JURY PROGRAM

2012-13 Budget Request:

$46,176,609

Program Description This Program includes funding for the cost of operating the jury system for New Yorks State-funded courts. The Jury System: The State Constitution guarantees litigants before New Yorks courts trial by jury in most cases. The Judiciary Law, Article 16, sets forth the procedures to be followed in making available an adequate number of jurors so that the Judiciary can meet this constitutional guarantee. The focal point for these procedures is in the office of Commissioner of Jurors. One such office is established for each of the 57 counties outside New York City while, in the City, the Commissioners functions are discharged by the jury divisions of the County Clerks office in each of the Citys five boroughs. The Commissioners oversee the qualification and summoning of citizens for jury service, the maintenance of juror service records, the processing of juror payment vouchers, the operation of jury assembly rooms, and the provision of jurors to courtrooms for the jury selection portion of a trial.

Summary of 2012-13 Funding Request: Jury System

2012-13 Budget Request: $46,176,609 Personal Service: Nonpersonal Service: Maintenance Undistributed: 19,532,210 26,644,399 0

The Jury Systems Operations General Fund budget request is $46.2 million, or an increase of $1.1 million (2.4%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $19.5 million is an increase of $282,524 (1.5%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses, uniform allowance and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. Included in this amount is $745,175 in temporary service, which provides staff support in New York City to meet workload demands. Nonpersonal service funding supports ongoing support of jury systems operations, including jury per diems at the rate of $40 per day, fees for jurors who serve in town and village courts, and meals and lodging for jurors under certain circumstances. Additionally, the costs of printing, shipping and postage for juror questionnaires and summonses are included in this category. The nonpersonal service request of $26.6 million represents an increase of $805,773 (3.1%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. This rise is principally attributable to expenditure-based increases in jury per diem payments, as well as the printing and mailing of juror questionnaires and summonses.

$22,907,298

Program Description This Program includes funding for the New York City County Clerks offices in New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens and Richmond Counties. New York City County Clerks: The State Constitution directs that the County Clerk in each of the five boroughs of New York City act as the Clerk of the Supreme Court and as the Commissioner of Jurors. The Richmond County Clerk also acts as the Registrar of Deeds for property transactions on Staten Island. In 1995, the Judiciary Law and the State Finance Law were amended to require New York City to assume the cost of County Clerk offices, except for expenses related to jury operations. The nonjury operations are funded by recording fees that would otherwise be payable to New York City as well as deductions from local assistance funds owed the City of New York. Jury operations are funded through the Jury System Operations Program.

2012-13 Budget Request: Personal Service: Nonpersonal Service: Maintenance Undistributed:

The New York City County Clerks Special Revenue Fund budget request is $22.9 million, or an increase of $107,134 (0.5%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $19.3 million represents an increase of $59,977 (0.3%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses, uniform allowance and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. The personal service request also includes $1.1 million for temporary service in support of ongoing operations. Nonpersonal service funding supports usual and necessary expenses associated with county clerk operations including: supplies and materials, printing and records management. Records management consists of records storage and digitization or microfilming of paper records. The nonpersonal service request is $3.6 million, or an increase of $47,157 (1.3%) over current year funding. The increase is primarily attributable to increased costs in records management for records storage. Increases are also reflected for accounting and auditing services, which are the administrative fees associated with credit card use. These fees are expected to grow as a result of Chapter 543 of the Laws of 2011, which allows the expanded use of electronic filing in New York City and elsewhere. The nonpersonal service increases are partially offset by a reduction in telephones due to cost saving measures and an expenditure-based reduction in printing.

COURTS OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION TOWN AND VILLAGE PROGRAM STATE OPERATIONS

2012-13 Budget Request:

$4,952,910

Program Description This Program includes funding for the Town and Village - State Operations Program. Town and Village Courts: There are 1,250 Town and Village Justice Courts in New York State, employing about 2,000 Justices and several thousand nonjudicial personnel. These Courts have civil jurisdiction over monetary claims of up to $3,000 (including small claims jurisdiction over matters of up to that amount), landlord/tenant matters and traffic matters. They also have criminal jurisdiction that includes authority to arraign defendants on felony charges and to try misdemeanors and violations. In many regions of the State, especially the 21 counties that have no City Courts, the Town and Village Courts function as the only lower court tribunal. The Town and Village Justice Courts are principally funded by the localities that they serve. They do, however, receive some state assistance through the Judiciary Budget State Operations and Aid to Localities appropriations. The Courts of Original Jurisdiction Town and Village Program includes the State Operations appropriation which provides training, technology support, fiscal guidance, and legal research and other assistance through the Office of Justice Court Support and the Town and Village Courts Resource Center. The Aid to Localities component includes funding for the Justice Court Assistance Program. Summary of 2012-13 Funding Request: Town and Village - State Operations
2012-13 Budget Request: Personal Service: Nonpersonal Service: Maintenance Undistributed: $4,952,910 4,131,549 821,361 0

The Town and Village - State Operations General Fund budget request is $5.0 million, or a decrease of $306,044 (-5.8%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $4.1 million represents an increase of $54,664 (1.3%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. The temporary service request of $96,300 includes funding for Acting Town and Village Justices required in support of ongoing operations. The nonpersonal service request is $821,361, or a decrease of $360,708 (-30.5%) from current year funding. This request primarily supports training for local justice court staff and case management support. The decrease is attributable to the implementation of cost saving measures in conferences and training and an expenditure-based decrease in supplies.

COURTS OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAM

2012-13 Budget Request:

$314,577,410

Program Description This Program includes funding to support the security needs of the trial courts. Public Safety: Security for the trial courts is provided in one of two ways: in New York City and in some locations outside the City, specially-trained Unified Court System employees perform these services. In many upstate locations, the Unified Court System contracts with local sheriffs or police departments to provide security. The Program also supports the Department of Public Safety, which develops protocols and monitors the implementation of public safety policies; the Court Officer Training Academies, which provide comprehensive training to Judiciary security staff; and the Applicant Verification Unit, which conducts background checks on potential Court Officer candidates.

Summary of 2012-13 Funding Request: Public Safety

2012-13 Budget Request: Personal Service: Nonpersonal Service: Maintenance Undistributed:

$314,577,410 281,452,815 33,124,595 0

The Public Safety All Funds budget request is $314.6 million, or a decrease of $6.6 million (-2.1%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $281.5 million represents a decrease of $7.2 million (-2.5%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses, uniform allowance and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. Also reflected in the personal service request is $6.9 million for overtime. The overtime request, which represents a decrease of $8.4 million from the current year, reflects the implementation of strict controls in the current year. Nonpersonal service funding supports usual and necessary expenses associated with operations and administration including: security supplies, repairs of equipment and travel. The nonpersonal service request is $33.1 million, or an increase of $539,601 (1.7%) over current year funding. The increase is attributable to fringe benefit increases in contractual security and real estate rental increases for court officer training academies. These are partially offset by expenditure-based reductions in supplies and materials and other general services; and a decrease in telephones as a result of cost saving measures.

2012-13 Budget Request:

$20,883,240

Program Description This Program includes funding for trial court administration which is coordinated through the regional offices of the Administrative Judges. Administration: Overall administration of the trials courts is coordinated through the offices of the Administrative Judges. Administrative Judges are designated by the Chief Administrative Judge and report either to the Deputy Chief Administrative Judge for New York City or the Deputy Chief Administrative Judge Outside New York City. Their offices manage a wide array of functions including case management and court operation support, fiscal oversight and human resource administration, and facilities planning and management. Administrative Judges are appointed in each district outside New York City. In New York City, there are separate Administrative Judges in each borough for civil and criminal operations except Richmond which has one Administrative Judge. In addition, there is one Family Court Administrative Judge for all five boroughs.

Summary of 2012-13 Funding Request: Trial Court Administration

2012-13 Budget Request: $20,883,240 Personal Service: 18,764,662 Nonpersonal Service: 2,118,578 Maintenance Undistributed: 0

The Trial Courts Administration All Funds budget request is $20.9 million, or an increase of $155,039 (0.7%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $18.8 million represents an increase of $205,591 (1.1%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. These funding requirements are offset by staffing adjustments and overtime reductions, due to strict controls. Nonpersonal service funding supports usual and necessary expenses associated with the administration of trial court operations. These expenses include telephones, printing, shipping and postage, equipment rentals, utilities and travel. Also included are costs associated with rental space for administrative offices in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Judicial Districts. The nonpersonal service request of $2.1 million represents a decrease of $50,552 (-2.3%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. This decrease is principally attributable to cost savings and expenditure-based reductions in telephones, equipment rental, travel, printing and information technology services.

Major Purpose Description This Major Purpose includes funding for the Court of Appeals and a component of the Public Safety Program. Court of Appeals: The Court of Appeals, consisting of a Chief Judge and six Associate Judges, is New Yorks highest Appellate Court. Except where questions of federal law are involved, its determinations are final and unreviewable in any other court. Beyond exercising its appellate jurisdiction, the Court also determines certain questions of State law upon request of the Federal Courts; approves standards and policies for the courts promulgated by the Chief Judge; approves the annual Judiciary Budget as prepared by the Chief Administrative Judge; and regulates the admission of attorneys to the practice of law. The Law Reporting Bureau operates under the supervision of the Court of Appeals and is responsible for publishing all Court of Appeals and Appellate Division decisions, along with selected decisions of the trial courts. Summary of 2012-13 Funding Request: Court of Appeals The Court of Appeals Major Purpose State Operations General Fund budget request is $14.7 million, or a decrease of $36,945 (-0.3%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. The request includes the following: Personal Service The personal service request of $12.8 million represents an increase of $104,714 (0.8%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for existing judicial positions and filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses, uniform allowance and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. These funding requirements are offset by overtime reductions due to strict controls and reappropriation of the funding required for the statutorily mandated judicial salary increase effective April 1, 2012.

$77,029,968 77,029,968 0

Major Purpose Description This Major Purpose includes funding for the Appellate Divisions, the Appellate Terms and a component of the Public Safety Program. Appellate Divisions: The Appellate Divisions are the courts of intermediate appellate resort. There is one Appellate Division established for each of the States four Judicial Departments. Each consists of a Presiding Justice and a varying number of Associate Justices. Currently, there are 14 justices sitting in the First Department, 21 justices in the Second Department, and 12 justices each in the Third and Fourth Departments. The Presiding Justices and the Associate Justices are all designated to the Appellate Divisions by the Governor from among the sitting Supreme Court Justices. The Appellate Divisions hear appeals from the major trial courts and, in civil cases, from the Appellate Terms and the County Courts (when they sit as appellate courts in review of lower court cases). Beyond exercising their appellate jurisdiction, the Appellate Divisions also oversee the admission of attorneys to the practice of law and the discipline of attorneys for unprofessional conduct; and oversee the Attorney for the Child, Assigned Counsel and Mental Hygiene Legal Service Programs. These programs are funded under the Appellate Auxiliary Operations Major Purpose. Appellate Terms: Under the State Constitution, each Appellate Division is authorized to establish Appellate Terms to hear appeals from the lower trial courts. Each Appellate Term consists of three to five Justices designated from among the sitting Supreme Court Justices. Currently, there are Appellate Terms in the First and Second Departments that handle criminal and civil appeals from New York City Criminal and Civil Courts and other lower criminal and civil courts within the jurisdiction of the each Department. Summary of 2012-13 Funding Request: Appellate Court Operations The Appellate Court Operations State Operations General Fund budget request is $77.0 million, or a decrease of $448, 585 (-0.6%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. The request includes the following: Personal Service The personal service request of $71.9 million represents a decrease of $450,502 (-0.6%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for existing judicial positions and filled nonjudicial positions. Funding is also included for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses, uniform allowance and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. The temporary service request supports ongoing court operations in the Second and Third Departments. These funding requirements are offset by reappropriation of the funding required for the statutorily mandated judicial salary increase effective April 1, 2012.

Nonpersonal Service Nonpersonal service funding supports usual and necessary expenses associated with appellate court operations, support and administration including: office supplies, legal reference materials and on-line services, records management, judicial hearing officers, technology support and travel costs for judges and staff. The nonpersonal service budget also supports contractual security services in the Fourth Department. The nonpersonal service request of $5.1 million reflects a slight increase of $1,917 (0.04%) over current year funding. Expenditure-based increases in contractual security and travel are offset by the implementation of cost saving measures in supplies and materials and technology services as well as expenditure-based reductions in postage, telephones and other general services.

2012-13 Budget Request: $125,017,839 Personal Service: Nonpersonal Service: Maintenance Undistributed: 1,966,714 123,051,125 0

The Attorney For the Child All Funds budget request is $125.0 million or an increase of $761,037 (0.6%) over the current year adjusted appropriation. The personal service request of $2.0 million represents a decrease of $32,645 (-1.6%) from the current year adjusted appropriation. This includes funding for filled nonjudicial positions and for the payment of increments, longevity bonuses and location pay, as required by law, for all eligible employees. These funding requirements are offset by staffing adjustments. The nonpersonal service budget supports payments to legal service providers and individual panel attorneys who provide legal representation to children, and includes related expenses such as forensic evaluations and transcripts. Funding also includes continuing legal education and training, litigation support and reference materials for the attorneys. The nonpersonal service request of $123.1 million reflects an increase of $793,682 (0.6%) over current year funding. The increase is attributable to cost of living adjustments for contractual providers and is offset by expenditure-based reductions in panel attorney voucher payments, as well as expert costs.

$22,837,890 19,955,058 2,882,832

Major Purpose Description The Administration and General Support Major Purpose provides management support for the Unified Court System. Under the Constitution, the Chief Judge of the State, with the advice and consent of the Administrative Board of the Courts, designates a Chief Administrator of the Courts (or Chief Administrative Judge if he or she is a judge), who bears responsibility for day-to-day supervision and operation of the courts. By statute and by direction of the Chief Judge, the Chief Administrator designates Deputy Chief Administrative Judges for the courts within and outside New York City to aid the Chief Administrator in the discharge of his or her duties. The Chief Administrator also is empowered to establish an administrative office for the courts to provide necessary staff support in a broad array of areas, including: legal and intergovernmental affairs; policy planning and executive direction; financial management and budget preparation; education and training; internal affairs; human resources, media relations and public affairs; and court research. This Major Purpose also requests special revenue funding from the Attorney Licensing Fund (ALF) for management of the attorney registration database. Under the Judiciary Law, every attorney admitted to the practice of law in New York must register biennially with the Office of Court Administration and pay a $375 registration fee. This fee is distributed between the Lawyers Fund for Client Protection, the Indigent Legal Services Fund, the Legal Services Assistance Fund and the Attorney Licensing Fund. Finally, the Administration and General Support Major Purpose requests special revenue funding from the Court Facilities Incentive Aid Fund for management of the states obligations under the Court Facilities Act of 1987, which established a State aid program to assist counties and cities in meeting their obligations in relation to maintaining court facilities. As originally adopted, this aid program provided localities with reimbursement for a portion of the debt service and maintenance and operations costs associated with court facilities. In the mid-1990's, the Legislature modified the Court Facilities Act to provide for full state assumption of local costs incurred in the cleaning and minor repair of court facilities. This Major Purpose funds the staff that manage implementation of the Court Facilities Act. Funding for the aid program is requested from the Court Facilities Incentive Aid Fund in the Local Assistance budget. Summary of 2012-13 Funding Request: Administration and General Support The Administration and General Support Major Purpose State Operations All Funds budget request is $22.8 million, or a decrease of $74,038 (-0.3%) from the current year adjusted appropriation.

The nonpersonal service request is $3.0 million, or a decrease of $824,574 (-21.4%) from current year funding. The decrease is attributable to the implementation of cost saving measures in conferences and training and office clerical services, as well as expenditure-based decreases in supplies and printing.

2012-13 Budget Request:

$0

The 2012-13 Judiciary budget request does not include any new appropriations for capital projects. It does seek to reappropriate capital funds originally appropriated in fiscal 2007-08 for the development of a Court Officer Training Academy in Kings County. Court Officer Academy in Kings County One of the primary recommendations of the Task Force on Court Securityconvened by the Chief Judge and Chief Administrative Judge in the aftermath of September 11, 2001was the need to expand training for court security officers by establishing appropriate residential facilities similar to those in use by the Department of Corrections and the State Police. Such facilities are necessary because of the unique security environments in which court officers operate and because of certain insufficiencies in the Judiciarys existing nonresidential program. Residential facilities would resolve many operational difficulties and would also facilitate court officer recruitment. Also, the creation of a residential training facility will assist the court system in meeting the newly established training requirements under Chapter 491 of the Laws of 2010. Chapter 548 of the Laws of 2006 provided for the construction or acquisition of a court officer training academy to be located on specified property within Kings County. The Judiciary, with the assistance of the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York, has entered into a 49-year lease with a nonprofit entity for the purpose of renovating a former school complex into a state-of-the-art court officer training academy in Kings County. The project is in the design phase; funds needed for this project are estimated at $51 million.
