The Delaware Judiciary recently issued its 2014 Annual Report. The Report begins with Chief Justice Strine's first Annual Report message, which makes reference to the Judiciary's survey of the Bar (see previous post here) as well as the Delaware Courts' consideration of work-life balance (see previous post here). In addition, the Chancellor, President or Chief Judge from each Court provide a more detailed update on the state of their Court along with a summary of Court initiatives and developments from the previous year. The Report also includes a message from the State Court Administrator, fiscal overview and a summary of 2014 legislation that impacts the Judiciary.
Along with the Annual Report, the Judiciary also published Statistical Information for 2014. This is a valuable resource for Delaware practitioners and offers statistics such as,
- Disposition of appeals to the Supreme Court
- Average time from filing to disposition of appeals to the Supreme Court
- Average time from submission to disposition of appeals to the Supreme Court
- Caseload of each Court
- Caseload breakdown and disposition of matters filed in each Court with comparisons to previous years
Previous Annual Reports and Statistical Information can be found on the Court's website.
