October 2013:
As directed by the General Assembly, in 2013, the Comptroller’s Office contracted with the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) to conduct a new time study by the state trial judges to update the 2007 weighted caseload study. This report reflects the estimated judicial resources needed to resolve cases coming before the courts in FY 2012-13. According to NCSC, the weighted caseload model presented in this report should be a starting point for determining judicial need; other qualitative factors should also be taken into account when determining judicial staffing needs.
