Court Funding Task Force

The Court Funding Task Force was created in response to a resolution passed by the Board for Judicial Administration (BJA) to study the funding of Washington’s trial courts. The BJA designated a steering committee to formulate a work plan, and the first full meeting of the Task Force was held on October 7, 2002.

The mission of the Task Force is to develop and implement a plan to achieve stable, adequate, long term funding of Washington’s trial courts to provide equal justice throughout the state.
