Wappingers Falls, New York
Gentlemen:
During 1967, activity in Justice Court greatly increased. This
was primarily in Vehicle and Traffic Law violations and has been pri-
marily brought about by the opening of the new section of Route #9
in the Town of Wappinger.
The attached statistical tables show the increase in workload
brought about by this event more dramatically than words can possibly
describe.
For example, court activity has increased significantly in 1967
over 1966. Table VIII which illustrates this growth and which com-
pares the last quarter in 1967 vs. 1966 shows an increase in total
activity of 327 cases vs. 135 cases, an increase of almost 2~ times.
As we have said previously in other discussions with you, our
activity and jurisdiction have been increased by the recent (Sept. 1
1967) Uniform Justice Court Act. This has brought about changes in
procedure which bring Town Court into line with all the other courts
in the Statewide Uniform Court System and most nearly like practice
in Supreme Court.
This change naturally has created an urgent need for study and
research so that we may adequately respond to these new procedures.
Attendance at the Judicial Conference,Training Session at St.
Lawrence University and the Annual Meeting of the Association of Towns
has been both helpful and stimulating in this regard.
