A Tribute to Iowa Chief Justice Mark Cady
快猫视频 is saddened by the passing of Iowa Chief Justice Mark Cady, who died suddenly over the weekend in Des Moines.
A soft-spoken but stalwart supporter of equal access to justice, he delivered at an 快猫视频 forum a few years ago about the impact that underfunding civil legal aid has on the administration of justice and the smooth functioning of the court system.
He sounded those themes powerfully again earlier this year when, in his capacity of the President of the Conference of Chief Justices, he co-authored calling for more than a 30 percent increase in 快猫视频 funding.
鈥淚t is time for a significant increase in 快猫视频 funding in order to fulfill our nation's promise of 鈥榚qual justice under law,鈥欌 he wrote.
We are profoundly grateful for the many efforts Chief Justice Cady made during his exemplary career to help our country more fully realize this foundational promise.
