Caseflow
management is the process by which courts move cases from filing to
closure. This includes all pre-trial phases, trials, and increasingly,
events that follow disposition to ensure the integrity of court orders and
timely completion of post-disposition case activity.
Effective
caseflow management makes justice possible not only in individual cases
but also across judicial systems and courts, both trial and appellate.
Effective caseflow helps ensure that every litigant receives
procedural due process and equal protection.
The quality of justice is enhanced when judicial administration is
organized around the requirements of effective caseflow and trial
management.
Crucial
issues that impact the effective movement of cases from filing to closure
include:
-
Court
system and trial court organization and authority relationships,
including the management of judges by judges;
-
The
identification, development, selection, and succession of chief judges
and court managers, chief judge/court manager executive leadership
teams, and the best use of these and other multi-disciplinary
executive teams
-
Allocation
of court resources: judges, managerial, technical and administrative
staff; budgets; technology; and courthouses, courtrooms, and other
facilities across courts, court divisions, case types, and particular
types of hearings;
-
Application
of court technology and the court’s research, data, and analytic
capability; and
-
Coordination
with the judiciary’s justice system partners.
Caseflow
management is the process by which courts convert their “inputs”
(cases) into “outputs” (dispositions).
This conversion process, caseflow management, determines how well
courts achieve their most fundamental and substantive objectives and
purposes. Properly
understood, caseflow management is the absolute heart of court management.
