Caseflow Management and Delay Reduction in Urban Trial Courts of the United States, 1979, 1983-1985
The purpose of this study was to examine caseflow
management in order to reduce delays in urban trial courts. The data
contain information from court records that reached disposition in a
cross-section of urban general-jurisdiction trial courts during 1979,
1983, 1984, and 1985. The 1979 data files contain the baseline data
for this survey. Data were gathered on civil and criminal case
processing times across a broad range of courts, and changes in case
processing times over a period of years were analyzed for 18 different
jurisdictions: Newark, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Miami, Wayne County,
Minneapolis, the Bronx, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, Dayton, Boston,
Cleveland, Providence, Wichita, Detroit, Oakland, and Jersey City.
The data are supplemented by information supplied by trial court
administrators and presiding judges in the courts participating in the
study. Data include information on the nature of the case, the dates
of first and last trials, and the total number of trials and their
manner of disposition.
