This is a subject near and dear to my heart, for a number of reasons. The Pennsylvania court system, for instance, is extremely overloaded, as are the district attorneys' offices, to the point where actual crimes are not being pursued (this has been affecting a friend of mine dealing with the weird intersection between family court issues and criminal court issues in the rural western part of the state, for the last several years).

The possibility that jury trials might be suspended, though, is horrific.
