Summary

Across circuit court caseloads, when fiscal 2013 is compared with fiscal 2018, case completions within the established time standard trended slightly down, with the exception of Family Law and the CINA‑TPR categories. In the Domestic Relations/Family Law categories, case completions in fiscal 2018 averaged about 95%, compared to 91% for the Domestic Relations category in fiscal 2013. In the CINA‑TPR category, the percentage of cases within the standard in fiscal 2018 was 77%, compared to 74% in fiscal 2013. On the other hand, the threshold of cases completed within the time standard for the Criminal category was 90% in fiscal 2018, compared to 93% in fiscal 2013. For the Civil category, the percentage of cases meeting the time standard remained largely stable during the same period, while Juvenile cases meeting the standard declined from 97% to 95% during the same period.

During fiscal 2017, the Judiciary changed its tracking of the Domestic Relations category to establish a different processing standard and to account separately for Limited Divorce cases. The Judiciary separated Foreclosure cases from the Civil category and began tracking Foreclosure case processing times in fiscal 2016. In fiscal 2018, 92% of Foreclosure cases were completed within the standard.
