C10-4: Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice Reflection

Today I read an article on the judiciary in Utah. Supreme Court Chief Justice Matthew Durrant delivered a speech to a colleague who's retiring, while he reflected on life in the Supreme Court twenty years ago. He exclaimed that twenty years ago the court had just begun looking at people's underlying problems and situations instead of just looking at the court case itself. Drug courts were just being introduced, and now they are required to be in every judicial district. Judges focus more on data and accountability than just deciding on a whim. It's important to see how the judiciary has changed on a small scale in Utah, and a much larger scale around the country, in just twenty years. There is no telling what more will change in the next twenty years, but Durrant says he will be on the bench to see it unfold.
