| Monitoring Information: | California documents court performance relevant to time standards by producing both manual and computer-generated reports with information compiled on a statewide level. Case processing time standards reports are available to the public through annual reports, the Web site, and other court publications. Reports/summaries containing time standards are reviewed yearly, and are received by the magistrates, clerk of court, all judges, state court administrator, the AOC staff, the chief judge, and the Supreme Court members. |
