Colorado Courts to Outsource Difficult Cases

Much to the relief of the overworked members of the Colorado Supreme Court and the Colorado Court of Appeals, their more difficult cases are going to be outsourced to India, the Philippines and undisclosed countries in the Middle East.
This is believed to be the first time that outsourcing on such a monumental scale has been undertaken by the appellate courts of any state.
According to The Docket, the monthly publication of the Denver Bar Association, after years of budget cuts combined with increasingly complicated appeals, Colorado's appellate courts were faced with the prospect of either hiring more judges or finding a creative and cost-efficient manner of dealing with appeals.
The Docket quoted Cyrus Blackachre, an apparently new spokesman for State Judicial, as saying:
"Finding overseas justices and judges who could read up on Colorado law was a surprisingly easy task."
The Docket, in today's April 1 edition, also said that another spokesman for State Judicial, Eric Whiteachre, announced that Colorado courts will receive a financial windfall from the son of a former Attorney General of Namibia.
The Docket identified the son as Melvin Imacrook, who contacted State Judicial by e-mail. Imacrook said that there is $10 million in a special account in a South African bank that will be transferred to State Judicial's Colorado bank as soon as State Judicial sends its account number and a small transference fee.
"This money will really help State Judicial after all the budget cuts we had to suffer through," said Whiteachre, a possible relative to the aforementioned Blackachre.
