SUBJECT FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSION (FGD) ON THE
CASE CARRYING CAPACITY OF LOWER
COURT JUDGES ON OCTO_BER 29, 2013 AT
GREAT EASTERN HOTEL, .1403 QUEZON
AVENUE, QUEZON CITY
The Supreme Court, with the assistance of the United States Agency
for International Development (USAID), thru the Asia Foundation, is
conducting a study of the case carrying capacity of Lower Court judges.
This study will enable the Supreme Court to assess the needs of courts and
judges based on judicial workloads and case complexities by establishing a
reasonable case load for them. The establishment of the reasonable caseload
will provide a rational basis for the determination of: ( l) how many courts
and judge positions are needed in order to ensure efficiency and timeliness
of court operations and outputs; (2) where courts are needed; (3) how many
cases judges should be expected to handle annually; and ( 4) establish
timeliness for different types of cases.
In connection therewith, the following judges are hereby authorized to
attend the said focus group discussion on OFFICIAL TIME/OFFICIAL
BUSINESS, chargeable to local funds, if authorized and available, provided
their court calendars are properly managed and the parties notified in
advance of any cancelled.hearing:
