THIS REPORT, DATED MAY 1977, ANALYZES THE CASE MANAGEMENT AND INFORMATION PROCESSES OF THE ADA COUNTY DISTRICT COURT, WHICH HAS JURISDICTION OVER CIVIL, CRIMINAL, HABEAS CORPUS, FAMILY CASES, AND CIVIL CASES OVER $5,000.

Abstract

THE PROBLEM AS STATED BY THE JUDGES IS THAT FOR VARIOUS REASONS, THEY ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDED BY THE DISTRICT COURT AND PROBATE DIVISION IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE. AMONG RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGE, THE CONSULANTS SUGGEST DIRECT SUPERVISION OF THE DISTRICT COURT DIVISION OF THE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE BY A RESPONSIBLE PARTY OF THE DISTRICT COURT. FURTHER, A UNIFORM CALENDAR-SETTING PROGRAM SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED FOR THE COURT, AND SOMEONE WITHIN THE CLERK'S OFFICE SHOULD BE DESIGNATED AS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT FUNCTION. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)...KAP
