Would expanding the Utah Supreme Court boost efficiency? As a @sjquinney.bsky.social prof put it, more cooks “doesn't necessarily get the cake baked faster.”
Should lawmakers expand the Utah Supreme Court, or aim a little lower?
Republican leaders say expanding the state’s highest court from five to seven justices makes practical sense for a growing state, but others see it as flirting dangerously with court packing.
