California’s state judiciary stands to continue receiving incremental funding increases under the budget proposal unveiled Friday by Gov. Gavin Newsom. 

The governor’s $222.2 billion proposed budget includes $4.3 billion for the judicial branch with more money designated for technology projects and long-term priorities flagged by court officials, including a portion of the courthouse construction projects identified by the Judicial Council and a court navigator program for unrepresented litigants in state courts, a program Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye initially called for in her 2018 State of the Judiciary Address.
