The court system is set up for short term needs??? No, they most definitely are not set up for short term needs - just the opposite. Thanks to Covid, court cases are running 6mo's or more behind, and that's for cases that have made it into the court system. Court rooms are frequently closed due to covid exposures, and most courtrooms aren't set up for virtual hearings. Additionally, courtroom staff can't process the paper filings that are required for the hearings because many of them are still teleworking. And if you're lucky enough to get your case hearing before a judge within 6-8 months, it may be another 12 months before they can render a decision. BTW, I work in the court system.
