TN Court Access Case To Move Quickly; May Become Class Action
NASHVILLE, June 3, 2004 --When the Supreme Court ruled that Tennessee was not immune to suits over access to its courthouses, the Justices sent the case back to the lower court. A federal judge has promised to move the case along quickly. "By any standard this is an old case, and it's simply time to get it over one way or another," Judge Todd Campbell said during an hour-long status hearing in his courtroom in U.S. District Court in Nashville. "There won't be much tolerance for casual delay. We'll be on a forced Roman march."
