Human
Resources Management Vision
and Purpose
Curriculum
Guideline One
Courts that are managed
effectively have a strategic vision that reflects enduring court purposes
and responsibilities. The court’s strategic vision should resonate in
Human Resources Management and all other court functions and processes.
Courts should be model employers with policies and practices that
comply with state and federal employment laws and regulations and relevant
ethical codes. But legal
requirements imposed by others must be integrated with judicial
independence and the inherent powers doctrine. A competent judiciary is
independent in philosophy, form, and practice. It delivers justice from the
bench but also on the phone, at the counter, and the bar of the court.
When Human Resources reflects court purposes and is aligned with the
courts strategic vision, it supports all other core competencies,
particularly Leadership; Visioning and Strategic Planning; and Education,
Training, and Development.
