Judicial mechanics study Alabama courts to improve efficiency
Alabama's judicial system under Chief Justice Howell Heflin and Court Administrator Charles Y. Cameron launches a two phase analysis. A statistical survey of 37 circuits aims to map caseloads while a separate study by the National Center for State Courts evaluates the Supreme Court and appellate courts. Data from lower courts will feed University of Alabama computers for year end results. The study will assess indigent defense, bail rules, grand juries, docketing, pretrial methods, and potential computer aided management. Final recommendations will come after consultations with judges legislators consultants and citizen groups.
