Performance Measures
Background
The Utah Judicial Council has implemented a court performance measurement system developed in part by the National Center for State Courts. The performance management system helps courts identify and monitor important performance measures and make improvements to better serve the needs of the public.
Reports

Juror yield is the number of citizens that served on a jury compared to the number of citizens selected from the jury pool.
The clearance rate is the number of disposed cases as a percentage of the number of filed cases in a given time period. In juvenile courts, the clearance rate is the number of adjudicated referrals as a percentage of the number of initiated referrals in a given time period.
In January 2013, the Utah Judicial Council adopted time to disposition guidelines suggesting 95% of case dispositions meet the established time goal. Time to Disposition is the courts' assessment of how long it should take to resolve each case type.
