Judicial Structure and Administrative Task Force

The purpose of this project was to examine options and opportunities for the judicial system to more efficiently utilize resources while preserving the core legal values of accountability, access, fairness and efficiency.

The Task Force was divided into four subcommittees which examined: 1) the jurisdiction of the courts, 2) the boundaries of the state’s judicial districts, 3) the feasibility and utility of court consolidation, and 4) technological upgrades required pursuant to recommended court reforms. Task Force members included Supreme Court Justices, legislators and legislative staff, trial court judges, and attorneys representing all areas of the state.
