Objective Estimates of the Need for Judicial Officers for Trial Courts

• WSCCR produces yearly estimates for the Superior, District, and Municipal Courts of the number of judges needed to handle each court's anticipated caseload.
• Currently WSCCR is working with the District and Municipal Court Judges' Association to develop adjustments to the empirical estimates that will account for changes to court business and will better account for activities that require time and attention from judicial officers.
