Administrative Law Court seeks retirement contribution and staff pay increases after e-filing rollout
Summary
Chief Judge Ralph Anderson told the subcommittee the court’s new e-filing system is online and requested $70,000 for the ALJ judicial retirement contribution and $243,000 to raise staff-attorney and clerk salaries to retain personnel.
Chief Judge Ralph Anderson told the constitutional subcommittee that the Administrative Law Court’s e-filing system is now online and that the technology has improved administrative efficiency and public service.
"We've finally got it online. It's increased our efficiency," Anderson said, adding that filers can now use credit cards to pay filing fees. He credited prior legislative funding with helping the court retain staff even as turnover continues.
Anderson asked for two primary recurring items: a $70,000 contribution to the ALJ judicial retirement system to address obligations stemming from a prior judge who did not elect into the system, and $243,000 to raise salaries for staff attorneys and clerks so the court can compete with other agencies for personnel. He said he had no nonrecurring requests.
Anderson briefly introduced staff present at the hearing, naming Danielle Cox (business manager), Jana Shealy (clerk of court) and Stephanie Perez (law clerk). No vote or formal action occurred on the funding requests during the session.
