How detailed is the information that will be reported during the one-month time study?
Selecting the number of case types and case events to be used in a weighted caseload study involves a tradeoff between having enough information to ensure the accuracy of the workload standards and minimizing the data collection burden on the participating judicial officers. The more case types and events that are included in a weighted caseload study, the larger the data samples need to be to guarantee statistical accuracy. In addition, the case weights must eventually be attached to case data readily available from every county in the state. For these reasons, it is recommended that approximately 20 case types be used in the time study. It is also recommended that each case type have 4 case event categories preliminary matters, non-trial dispositions, trial activity, and post judgment matters. The approximately 20 case types, in combination with the 4 case event categories, will allow all time spent by judges on all cases to be captured.
