This is an Executive Summary of the Indiana Judicial Report for calendar year 1998.
Abstract
The Indiana Judicial Report for 1998 contains three volumes: Executive Summary, Caseload Information, and Fiscal Report. The Judicial Report is based on summary data and presents an overview of the workload and functioning of the Indiana judiciary. The report is not intended to be an exact accounting of funds or a complete detailing of every judicial decision. It is intended for use by trial judges in evaluating their performance and monitoring the caseloads in their respective courts, by trial judges and county councils in the budgeting process, by the General Assembly and its committees in their legislative enactments, by the Division of State Court Administration in its oversight of judicial administrative activities, and by the Indiana Supreme Court in meeting its supervisory responsibilities. In addition, information presented in the Judicial Report is intended to provide a continuous factual basis for long-term judicial planning in the State of Indiana. Tables, notes, figures
