Justice Timothy McGee Implements New 7-Day Resolution Goal for Criminal Cases

Supreme Court Justice Timothy McGee has announced a new initiative to improve the efficiency and responsiveness of the city’s legal system. Effective immediately, Justice McGee has imposed a 7-day goal for the resolution of all criminal cases from the time they are entered into the docket.

This initiative is aimed at ensuring timely justice, reducing case backlog, and promoting accountability across law enforcement, legal counsel, and the judiciary. “Justice delayed is justice denied,” McGee stated. “By pushing for quicker resolutions, we’re reaffirming our commitment to due process and a fair, functioning system.

While this is a goal rather than a mandate, departments across the legal spectrum are being encouraged to align their processes to meet this timeline where possible.

What This Means for Citizens:

For everyday citizens, Justice McGee’s 7-day resolution goal means a faster and more responsive justice system. Defendants, victims, and their families can expect shorter wait times for court decisions, reducing stress, uncertainty, and extended legal entanglements.

Those facing charges will have a quicker path to resolution—whether that means justice served or innocence proven. For the community at large, this signals a renewed effort to hold the legal system accountable, cut down on unnecessary delays, and restore confidence in the courts.
