Why workload planning matters

Courts have turned to us for expertise in workload planning and assessment for decades. Our multi-disciplinary team brings a wealth of local and state court experience to your project while also drawing from deep knowledge and best practices developed from years of studies conducted throughout the country.

Workload planning improves quality of justice and effective practices by: providing empirical support for legislative budget requests; assessing resource distribution among courts or offices statewide; and informing distribution of resources across case types and functions. Our projects support judges, court staff, prosecutors, and public defenders.

How workload planning works

We collaborate with you to identify key data points such as tasks performed, staffing capacity, and complexity of work while considering potential external factors that might impact this work. Audits, interviews, surveys and focus groups are just some of the methods used to gather the data used to inform our findings and recommendations.
