Judicial group suggests state assume court costs NASHVILLE (AP) The Institute of Judicial Administration has recommended Tennessee's state government assume more of the cost burden incurred by lower courts at the county and city levels. In the second segment, of a two-part state's judicial system, the institute also suggested the creation of a more viable public defender's office.

The report, contracted by the state Judicial Council, predicts that a new, more distributed method of meeting lower court costs could save the state about $1.38 million a year and counties and cities about $1.36 million annually, "We recommend that the state assume partial responsifor the cost of operating the courts of limited jurisdiction, sufficient to assure effective control but without causing disastrous changes in the financing of local government," stated the report.
