Program Development
A priority of Judicial Operations is the development of innovative ideas and programs improving the economy and efficiency of judicial resources. Such program development requires thoughtful consideration of those affected, as well as an understanding of the budget, personnel, and technology factors involved. Due to this thorough process, program development within Judicial Operations may require several months.
New programs of Judicial Operations are often implemented in segments due to cost factors, the impact on those utilizing the Courts, and the impact on stakeholders. Stakeholders include the public, the Court, Court-related entities (i.e.; state’s attorney’s office or public defender), attorneys, law enforcement, litigants (i.e.; victims or families), corporations, treatment providers, and the Court’s funding sources. Collective effort and teamwork are required in the successful development and implementation of any new program within Judicial Operations.
Other Projects
Finally, Judicial Operations is also involved in a number of additional projects, including the annual report, press releases, the court newsletter, Law Day activities, coordinating judicial trainings, and liaison to facilities management.
