Kevin Whalling, Chief Counsel for the Whalling Law Group, PLLC has been approached by Luke Han, Chief Court Administrator for the local justice
court system concerning the desire to obtain a more substantial media budget for the court.
The problem for Administrator Han is that the court’s budgeting is tied to approval by the County Board of Supervisors. One Board member, Leia

balance with that media.
It will be tough to convince Supervisor Darth to approve the budget increase for media.
