Lammy warns court backlog may keep rising despite reform package to ease pressure Justice Secretary David Lammy has acknowledged that the crown court backlog in England and Wales is expected to continue rising despite a new package of reforms aimed at addressing mounting delays. Currently standing at around 80,000 cases, the backlog could exceed 200,000 by 2035 if no action is taken, according to Ministry of Justice projections. Lammy said that although he hopes to see reductions by the next general election, substantial improvements are unlikely before the 2030s because the legislative changes will not take effect until late 2026 or early 2027. The government’s proposed reforms include removing the cap on court sitting days, expanding the use of artificial intelligence to handle administrative tasks such as transcribing hearings, and introducing so-called “Blitz courts” that group similar cases together to improve efficiency. The plan also involves scrapping jury trials for certain offences likely to result in sentences of less than three years, following recommendations from Sir Brian Leveson’s review of the criminal justice system. While lifting the sitting day cap has been broadly welcomed, the proposal to reduce jury trials has drawn criticism from opposition parties and legal groups. Critics argue that the changes could undermine the right to a jury trial and question whether the government has adequately addressed deeper issues such as recruitment, retention, and court productivity. The government has pledged £2.7bn in funding for courts and tribunals next year and increased maintenance spending to address what has been described as a crumbling court estate.

Judge warns S 178 could shift burden, add courtwork though it may speed some dismissals Chief Superior Judge Tom Zoney told the Senate Judiciary committee S 178 would mix Massachusetts‑style timelines with Vermont Rule 48 interest‑of‑justice reviews, potentially shifting burdens and creating additional litigation over exceptions even as it could permit dismissals where prosecutors do not respond.

A new bill in Vermont could reshape how criminal cases are dismissed, but could it also complicate the court's workload?

Is this call for new magistrates simply because they are volunteers? The UK’s Labour government wants to recruit thousands of new volunteer magistrates - in order to tackle the Crown Court backlog.

Labour claims recruiting volunteer magistrates will tackle the Crown Court backlog — but magistrates do not sit in Crown Courts.

Prosecutor asks for an extra deputy as county begins public-defender reimbursement pilot The prosecutor requested one additional deputy prosecutor to handle increased filings after the transfer of city misdemeanors to county court; the public-defender office said a state pilot will reimburse roughly $255,975.08 annually for four years and could offset some costs, and the committee approved adding one deputy.

Vigo County's courts are in crisis as a backlog grows, prompting a call for an additional deputy prosecutor to manage the chaos and a new pilot program offering financial relief for public defenders.

Criminal justice in East Anglia: justice delayed is justice denied Criminal justice in East Anglia is nearing breaking point: depleted police forces and delays in trial dates. In Pt 2, overcrowded prisons and an exhausted probation service

Justice delayed is justice denied. With court backlogs exceeding 400,000 cases, victims and defendants alike face distressing delays. Some wait 182 days from offence to resolution. It's time to address the crisis in our courts.
