The state Supreme Court will quit funding a council that helps justices revise legal procedures across the state, after the council’s attorney got a $22,000 raise.
The Judicial Council’s executive committee voted in June to promote its attorney, April Southwick, to executive director and bump her salary to more than $82,000.
The court sent the Department of Administration a letter saying the raise was out of line.
Justices decided 5-2 to stop funding the council completely.
