A massive $300 million budget cut to New York's court system has forced Chief Judge Janet DiFiore and state court leaders to make hard choices, including that of declining to extend the judicial service of 46 retired trial and appellate judges.

Under the current conditions, it defies logic for OCA to require people to travel to unsafe courthouses for minor infractions.
