| Monitoring Information: | Kansas documents court performance relevant to time standards by producing both computer-generated and manual reports compiled at a statewide level. Reports/summaries with time standards are received by the clerk of court, both the presiding/chief trial and appellate judges, the state court administrator, the chief justice, Supreme Court members, and the trial court administrator, and are reviewed quarterly. Case processing time standards reports are available to the public through annual reports and court publications. |
| Notes: | Kansas finds median time to disposition to be the most helpful measure of court timeliness. The term "median" as used in these time standards means that at least 50% of the cases subject to judicial determination are tried or disposed of within the established time standards. |
