Description: The Court Executives Advisory Committee proposes that the Judicial Council amend standard 2.2 of the California Standards of Judicial Administration to repeal subdivision (m). Standard 2.2(m) recommends that trial courts report exceptional criminal case aging in the Judicial Branch Statistical Information System (JBSIS). Currently, most courts do not follow this recommendation, because JBSIS does not allow for such reports. Because the resources required to ensure courts could follow the standard would be substantial, and potential gains of doing so appear to be limited, the committee proposes that the subdivision should be repealed.
