BILL NUMBER:S3899 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the family court act, in relation to the number of family court judges in the county of Chautauqua PURPOSE: The purpose of this legislation is to increase the number of family court judges in Chautauqua County. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This legislation would amend Section 131 of the family court act by adding a new subdivision (u). JUSTIFICATION: Chautauqua County is the third busiest family court in the Eighth Judicial District, trailing behind Niagara by little more than 1,000 cases. Niagara County has two family court judges as well as four family court support magistrates. They also have three supreme court justices that have concurrent jurisdiction with the family court judges. Currently, Chautauqua County has only one family court judge who handles all family related matters. Usually, the caseload for Chautauqua County hovers around 4,000 cases per year, however, recently there has been a dramatic increase. Now, Judge Judith Claire, the sole family court judge, is assigned approximately 9,000 cases a year. Two days a week an Erie County Family Court Judge is sent to help with
