Harris County: Where the Accused are Treated like Cattle
Friends-
Historically the American Bar Association has recommended a Maximum of 150 felony appointments per lawyer per year. That’s a lot of felonies for 1 lawyer.
Harris County Judges continue to ignore the ABA standard. In Harris County, there is apparently no standard. Moving the docket is still the number one priority in many courts. In order to move the docket, the courts need lawyers who are willing to move cases. Some move cases faster than others.
So long as moving the docket is the priority, Justice and those caught up in the system will suffer. Shame on Harris County.
