Caseflow Management Consulting

Description

The Judicial Council of California (Judicial Council), chaired by the Chief Justice of California, is the chief policy making agency of the California judicial system. The California Constitution directs the council to improve the administration of justice by surveying judicial business, recommending improvements to the courts, and making recommendations annually to the Governor and the Legislature. The council also adopts rules for court administration, practice and procedure, and performs functions prescribed by law.

The primary purpose of the Judicial Council’s Research, Analytics and Data group is to provide data, research, and analytics to inform branch decision-making. As part of its effort to better understand trial court workload, the Judicial Branch is undertaking a study of caseflow management. In her 2024 State of Judiciary address, California Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero highlighted caseflow as one of her priority projects that would increase transparency, improve efficiencies, and increase productivity without sacrificing quality. 

You are invited to respond with information to assist the Judicial Council in identifying prospective consultants who would be willing to partner with the Judicial Council in a caseflow management study.

All submissions are due no later than February 3, 2025, no later than 2:00 P.M. (PST). All interested parties must submit an electronic version of the entire response marked “Response to RFI No. BMS-2024-45-SB” to be transmitted by email to the Judicial Council’s solicitations mailbox at solicitations@jud.ca.gov.
