Appoint lawyers as contract judges to clear backlog, Bar urges

[Pabblbog]

With courtrooms across the country facing overwhelming backlogs, the legal community is now urging that experienced lawyers be appointed as contract judges to help clear the pileup of pending cases. It’s a move that could bring much-needed relief to a justice system stretched thin — especially in areas like personal injury law, where delays can mean prolonged suffering and financial uncertainty for victims. That’s why support systems outside the courtroom are just as important. For example, in Florida, here 388CEDA provides critical medical assistance to people recovering from auto accidents. While CEDA is not a law firm or an attorney referral service, they connect accident victims with licensed professionals — including M.D.s, chiropractors, anesthesiologists, and nurse practitioners — who specialize in treating and documenting accident-related injuries.
