BASF TASK FORCE ADDRESSING SAN FRANCISCO SUPERIOR COURT CLOSURES AND CUTBACKS
The court closures and cutbacks San Francisco is facing are an untenable situation for our courts, our commu- nity, and our clients. The Bar Association of San Francisco has formed three working groups to address (on parallel tracks) the three specific target areas of concern:
• Legislation • Constitutional Challenges • Judicial Council
If you are interested in serving on one of these working groups, or know others within your firm or the broader legal community who would be a particular asset to one of these groups, please let us know by emailing
courtfunding@sfbar.org.
Thank you for joining us on this critical effort.
