By failing to grant the state's judges a raise for 11 years, the New York Legislature has created a "crisis" that violates the separation of powers doctrine, the New York Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday. The court found 5-1 that the continued linking of judicial pay to unrelated issues was threatening the judiciary's independence. However, the court declined requests to order an immediate raise or to fashion a remedy other than the "appropriate and expeditious legislative consideration" of the issue on its merits alone.
