Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Traverse Talks, I'm Jim Horn. Today we dive into Grand Traverse County's mounting courtroom backlog and the proposal to add a second probate judge. We'll unpack how Michigan Supreme Court data shows our local probate and circuit courts are under-judged, leading to months-long delays for urgent family and criminal cases. Stay tuned as we hear from judges and commissioners about the costs, community impact, and what comes next in this multi-year process to bring more timely justice to our region.
