Justice Brown’s Busy Year in Seattle Justice Courts
Justice Fred Brown handled 2800 civil cases and 14 criminal cases, with Seattle four courts turning in $10,242.55 for Brown, $9,279.60 for Carroll, $2,515.65 for George, and $8,027.80 for Gordon over a nine month term. The total for 12 months exceeded $12,000, highlighting the workload that spurred a legislative bill to add three more courts, which was pared to one in the Senate. The law assigns criminal cases to the prosecuting attorney and civil cases to the plaintiff’s attorney.
