2017 State of the Court

Strategic Planning

Over the span of several months, judges, commissioners and staff met to set a vision and strategic plan for the future of our court. Aligned with the goals of the Judicial Council’s strategic plan, the court strives to create efficient, transparent and innovative services with well-trained, well-qualified employees to provide stable and consistent access to our county.

With four main areas of focus arising out from these discussions, the court envisions:

1. Expanded countywide access to justice 2. Increased state-wide relationships 3. Efficient, functioning and accessible case and data management 4. Well-trained and committed judicial officers and staff

The proposed Strategic Plan encompasses the period of 2018 to 2023, with strategic directives and implementation plans to:

Build Relationships

 Invest in the Court and the Community

Commit to Success

In early fall of 2017, judges, commissioners, staff, community members and the public were invited to review and comment on the proposed Strategic Plan for 2018-2023. The Strategic Plan for 2018-2023 and any comments will be submitted to the Full Bench for consideration at its annual meeting in October, 2017.
