Model Guidelines on Judicial Case Management in the Criminal Justice System
In the context of discussions on improving the efficiency and fairness of the criminal justice system, the Steering Committee on Justice Efficiencies and Access to the Justice System struck a sub-committee to consider means by which judicial case management could be further implemented to achieve efficient but fair resolution of cases. The Steering Committee acknowledged that while there has been, in the last decade, a growing recognition of the importance of case management in civil cases, this culture change has yet to be widely accepted in the criminal context. Furthermore, although the Steering Committee had previously examined various aspects of case management, these model guidelines are geared toward further informing the judiciary and other participants of the various tools available to assist them in better managing criminal cases.
