SACRAMENTO — Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye will ask for an additional $1.1 billion in state funding for California’s judiciary over the next three years at a public event scheduled Tuesday in the state capital.

The so-called Blueprint for Access to Justice seeks almost $875 million “to fully fund” existing trial court caseloads, according to a copy obtained by The Recorder.
