Visioning and Strategic Planning require understanding of the
purposes of courts and how court management delivers on the American
promise of equal justice under law, due process, and judicial independence
and impartiality. Visioning
and Strategic Planning help court leaders and their justice and community
partners ensure that the future of the courts and the justice system
matches their enduring purposes and responsibilities.
Their plans take into account alternative and current court
jurisdiction, structure, and performance; case processing; and the types
and numbers of cases being processed.
