On behalf of a relative; I have had to go to court no less than 10 times in the past two years for ongoing court continuances BEFORE the case has been heard (it still has not been heard and this has been delayed since 2004!).
I'm sure there are many of you in the same situation and whether court appointed or salary-for-hire attorney is your situation; it takes your time, money and parking fees* from all of us.
I strongly believe there should be LIMITS on the number of times any lawyer or judge can continue ONE particular casek (No matter the circumstances!)
This particular petition is for the residents of Alabama and I encourage each State to start their own petition. You are signing a petition to change the law and place LIMITS on the number of court continuances any one case may have no matter the circumstances in court occurring! It should be heard in (x) amount of court dates or dismissed immediately and not carried over from one year to the next and another - - so on so forth.
We, the undersigned, petition to limit court continuances in Alabama and encourage other states to likewise place limits.
