Bill Aims to Shift Teton County from Eleventh to Cascade Jurisdiction
The Acantha reports a forthcoming bill to carve Teton county out of the Eleventh Judicial district with Flathead and Teton counties and attach it to Cascade county. It would create an extra judge in the new district, though the paper questions the need for a second judge given likely business volume. The move would ease access to judicial papers, cutting travel time and costs, and improve telephonic and telegram communication with Great Falls.
