A recent opinion piece by an advisory member of the Judicial Council addressing “myths” about the Administrative Office of the Courts and the Judicial Council exaggerates and misstates many legitimate complaints that have been made about branch leadership (“Viewpoint: The Truth About the Judicial Council,” Oct. 10). The stated “truths” about the Judicial Council and the AOC are based in large part on “facts” that the AOC’s own records have shown to be inaccurate, incomplete or misleading. We offer this response to highlight some of the “myths” erroneously stated as “facts.”

Myth: “Development of CCMS cost $313.5 million over a 10-year period.”
