Committee advances bill to add one superior court judge for busy Palmer courthouse The House Finance Committee voted without objection on April 7 to move HB 262 out of committee; Nancy Meade (Alaska Court System general counsel) said Palmer exceeds the statewide per‑judge caseload and the Supreme Court requested a new judge; fiscal notes include a request from the Office of Public Advocacy for one flex attorney.

Palmer's courthouse is bursting at the seams, with an average of 683 cases per judge—now is the time for change!
