The 26th Judicial District is seeking training and technical assistance from a multi-disciplinary team to design an approach using best practices for the scheduling cases from filing to disposition and the management of the docket within the courtroom itself. Achieving buy-in from court officials with diverse perspectives is key. This effort will result in a more productive courtroom and effective utilization of courtroom time.
Please check the box next to the following questions if the answer is 'yes'.
From the original TTA request: The 26th Judicial District of North Carolina is currently conducting a review of case scheduling
and management practices within our Criminal District Court courtrooms. District Court is where
limited jurisdiction matters, like traffic and misdemeanor cases, are heard. Part of our analysis
includes studying other judicial districts within North Carolina, and outside the state, on how they
handle similar cases. We hope to identify some model jurisdictions to consider emulating. We
would also like an experienced multi-disciplinary team of judges, court administrators,
prosecutors, defense counsel and law enforcement to help us in designing an implementation
strategy and cultivating the local buy-in necessary for it to work. Our objective is to increase the
overall productivity and utilization of available judge time in these courts.
