This first volume of a final report on a study of court scheduling, phase II, provides an overview of the entire project (including phase I) and task descriptions.
Abstract
The objective of phase II of the project is the development of transferable court scheduling packages with documentation relevant to administrators of courts and to systems personnel. This was achieved by (1) laying the groundwork for the transfer of scheduling packages through continued development of aspects of the court scheduling model, (2) implementing some of the model's components (the scheduling packages) in pilot jurisdictions, and (3) documenting the transfer effort and disseminating the information. Tasks 1-4 generally are concerned with the management, calendaring, and data support components of the court scheduling system, while tasks 5-7 covered the transfer of the components to selected pilot sites, and the preparation of appropriate document action for dissemination to other courts in order to encourage them to improve their respective court scheduling systems. Footnotes are included. An exhibit illustrates the phase I model court scheduling system and its relationship to phase II tasks. (Author abstract modified)
