Performance
Measures |
This
report contains calculations of the countywide civil, criminal,
and juvenile case clearance rates, as well as the civil and
criminal case backlog indices, for the district courts in
each county for the time period selected.
The clearance rate (i.e.,
number of cases disposed/number of cases added to the docket)
is a measure of how effectively a court is disposing the cases
added to its docket. A clearance rate of 100 percent indicates
that the court disposed of the same number of cases as were
added to the docket during the same time period, resulting
in no changes to the court’s backlog.
The backlog index is a
calculation used to measure the size of a court’s backlog.
It measures the pending caseload against the court’s capacity
to dispose of the caseload during a given time period. Specifically,
it is the number of cases (of a given type) pending at the
beginning of the year, divided by the total number of cases
(of the given case type) disposed during the year. A
backlog index of 1.0 means that the court disposed of the
equivalent of the pending caseload in one year. Thus, a score
of 0.5 equals half a year, or six months. A court should have
a minimum goal of achieving a civil backlog index of 1.0 or
less. On average, criminal cases should be disposed more quickly
than major civil cases, so court should maintain a lower backlog
index for criminal cases than civil cases.
These two performance measures
are required by the rider attached to Senate Bill 1 (the General
Appropriations Act) by the 77th Legislature in 2001. |
