BASED ON INTERVIEWS WITH JUSTICE OFFICIALS AND RECORDS OF THE LITIGATION GROUPS AND JUSTICE'S OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND FINANCE, STUDY RESULTS ARE DETAILED IN FIVE APPENDIXES. THE RESULTS FOCUS ON JUSTICE'S LITIGATION ACTIVITIES, THE QUALITY OF ITS SUMMARY INFORMATION, AND JUSTICE'S EFFORTS TO IMPROVE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS. OVERALL, THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL REPORTS THAT (1) SUMMARY DATA FOR SUPPORTING BUDGET REQUESTS AND FOR EVALUATION LITIGATION PROGRAM EFFORTS HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE; (2) JUSTICE HAS RECOGNIZED THE NEED FOR LITIGATION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS THAT WOULD DETAIL USE OF STAFF RESOURCES AND WORKLOAD RELATIONSHIPS; (3) ACCORDING TO PAST AUDITS, JUSTICE HAS INSUFFICIENT DATA TO MEASURE EFFECTIVELY THE SCOPE, PROGRESS, AND RESULTS OF VARIOUS LITIGATION ACTIVITIES; (4) SUMMARY INFORMATION IS LACKING BECAUSE JUSTICE DOES NOT HAVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS THAT DETAIL THE USE OF STAFF RESOURCES OR PROVIDE READILY RETRIEVABLE CASELOAD DATA; (5) JUSTICE AND THE LITIGATIVE GROUPS HAVE BEEN TAKING STEPS TO IMPLEMENT MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS; AND (6) THESE EFFORTS VARY SO IN FORMAT AND LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT RECEIPT OF UNIFORM LITIGATION DATA IS UNLIKELY. IF UNIFORM DATA ON STAFF TIME EXPENDED AND SPECIFIC CASES WERE MAINTAINED AND STAFF TIME EXPENDED FOR INDIVIDUAL NUMBER CASES WAS SHOWN FOR ALL LITIGATION ACTIVITIES, THEN JUSTICE COULD FORM A DATA BASE FOR COMPARING AND PROJECTING RESOURCES NEEDED AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO HANDLE EXISTING CASELOADS. WHILE EACH LITIGATION GROUP HAS UNIQUE INFORMATION NEEDS, SOME COMMON REQUIREMENTS, SUCH AS THE CALENDAR TIME TO HANDLE A CASE, CASE DISPOSITION, AND CURRENT STATUS COULD BE SATISFIED.
