| Monitoring Information: | Mississippi produces manual reports relevant to time standards. Both the AOC and local entities are authorities for the reporting schedule. Reports with time standards are received by the presiding/chief appellate judge, the state court administrator, the chief justice, and the Supreme Court members. The reports relevant to time standards are reviewed monthly. Reports with time standards are not published, but are available to the public upon request. |
| Notes: | Court Administration in the Supreme Court monitors time standard performance in the appellate courts in the Supreme Court on a weekly basis and consults with the Chief Justice regarding compliance. In the Court of Appeals, the Chief Judge monitors compliance with the 270 statute. The trial court standards are not monitored on a formal basis, but the data regarding filings and dispositions are reported to the Administrative Office of Courts. In courts which appear to have a problem, the Chief Justice as the chief administrative officer of state courts can consult with the trial judges and take appropriate action. |
