'Backlog Reduction' explored by National Center for State Courts

The National Center for State Courts will present the webinar “Implementing a Plan—Backlog Reduction” on Monday, January 9, beginning at 2 p.m. via Zoom.

The Conference of Chief Justices and Conference of State Court Administrators Rapid Response Team continues its Backlog Reduction Workshop series. The workshop, the third installment in the webinar series, is being offered with the support of the State Justice Institute.

Most courts are still working their way through a pandemic-generated case backlog. The National Center for State Courts is proud to bring together court leaders to discuss the tools and strategies that have worked for them. Panelists will discuss measuring backlog, identifying resources and tools courts can use to help move cases, evaluating the effect of interventions, and maintaining the momentum required to tackle this additional workload.

Presenters for the webinar include:

• Judge Tracy Prall, presiding judge, Marion County Circuit Court, Oregon
• Judge Andrew T. Heath, director, North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts
• Judge David M. Johnson, Sixth Judicial District of Minnesota
• Matt Brockman, business process specialist, Sixth Judicial District of Minnesota

Kristen Trebil-Halbersma, managing director, Court Consulting Services, NCSC, will moderate the webinar.
