-- These funds were taken out of our award
• CCA has required us to maintain the Appellate Education Fund at $98,000 in FY12 and again in FY13 even though only 2/3 of those funds are used by appellate judges
Funding • As a result of the legislative cuts and the
awards by the CCA:– YAFI had to be cut– We cannot conduct an Associate Judge
Conference– TCJS will not include the core program this year;
only the specialty tracks will be offered. Attendance will be limited to 95
