Chief Justice Kylian Clarkson has issued a press release on the current stability and strength of the Judiciary, saying that the courts are able to handle incoming cases — including a potential points system applied to driver licenses. “The Judiciary is fully staffed across all areas. From the benches of the District, Circuit and Supreme Courts, to the hard-working Court Clerks, this group of civic-minded public servants works together to uphold the rule of law, protect the rights of citizens, and maintain the integrity of our judicial process.
Clarkson also noted the Judiciary is enjoying a 50% favorable view from the public, the highest satisfaction metric in recorded history, and all cases are being held before the 21-day timer elapses. “The Judiciary is not overwhelmed, not in the slightest,” said Chief Justice Clarkson. “In fact, we are underwhelmed by the lack of substantial caseload.”

Clarkson also writes in favor of a prospective license points system. As he says in the release: “[Wheeler’s] mention of the driver’s license point system overlooks a critically important aspect of the original bill. The bill proposed the establishment of a new position within the Judiciary specifically dedicated to driving instructors. These instructors would serve as a vital resource for the state, ensuring that drivers are well-prepared and that our roads are safe. “The willingness for us to take on this burden reinforces our commitment to public service in every capacity,” said Chief Justice Clarkson.
