    SJI Newsletter May 2019 | Volume 29, No. 8 Civil Justice Initiative Pilot Project Releases Miami-Dade Evaluation In November 2016, the Circuit Civil Division of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida implemented the Civil Justice Initiative Pilot Project (CJIPP) to test the impact of Civil Case Management Teams (CCMTs) on civil case processing. CCMTs were envisioned as an essential component of civil justice reform in the report and recommendations of the CCJ Civil Justice Improvements Committee. With SJI support, the CJIPP created four CCMTs, each consisting of a judge, a case manager, a judicial assistant, and a bailiff. The CCMTs developed a standardized case management process to streamline administrative tasks, triage cases into appropriate case management pathways, and monitor case progress. The remaining 21 judges in the Circuit Civil Division continued to manage civil caseloads under traditional case processing practices and staffing assignments, providing a baseline for comparison. To assess the impact of CJIPP, the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) conducted an outcome evaluation that compared the outcomes of cases assigned to the CJIPP teams with those assigned to the non- CJIPP judges (baseline). The NCSC found that CJIPP cases closed at a significantly higher rate, and approximately five months earlier on average than baseline cases. Shortly after the initial launch of the pilot program, the CJIPP cases experienced a temporary increase in the number of court hearings and case management conferences as lawyers in the CJIPP cases requested modifications to case management orders, including continuances or extensions of time to complete litigation tasks; however, the frequency of these case events returned to normal levels within three months.

    By Email Only April 28, 2020 the Honorable Charles T. Canady Chief

    By email only April 28, 2020 The Honorable Charles T. Canady Chief Justice The Supreme Court of Florida Dear Chief Justice Canady: We write today to ask you to issue guidance to the courts addressing the fines, fees, and court costs imposed in criminal, delinquency, and non criminal traffic cases. The impacts of COVID-19 public health crisis are, and will continue to be, unprecedented. As you commented in your March 24th video address, “The pandemic is now affecting everyone. We are living our lives in a ​ way that none of us would have contemplated a few short weeks ago. And none of us can count on things getting easier any time soon.” We agree - both short and long term solutions are ​ needed. There is an urgent need for guidance to the courts specifically relating to the financial implications of COVID-19 on those who owe court fines, fees, and costs. We know that families who were already struggling will be hit the hardest by the layoffs, wage cuts, and health issues stemming from the pandemic. They had difficulty paying fines and fees before the COVID-19 crisis, and their limited financial resources are now even more depleted. But they are not alone. Millions of Floridians are out of work and unable to meet their basic expenses. Mitigating the effects of COVID-19 is a high priority in the Florida State Courts System and addressing fines and fees must be included as part of the mitigation efforts. Given the current State of Emergency and the deepening economic impacts of the public health crisis in the state, including the substantial

It embellishes courthouse entries, ceremonial occasions, and an occasional constitutional decision. But it comes nowhere close to describing the justice system in practice. Millions of Americans lack any access to the system, let alone equal access. It is a shameful irony that our nation, which has the world’s greatest concentration of lawyers, also has one of the least adequate systems for legal assistance. It is more shameful still that the inadequacies attract so little concern. The Roadmap to Justice Project seeks to bring greater visibility and expertise to this issue. Its goal is to draw leaders in the field together to chart a national agenda for access to justice for those who need it most. Through a series of structured conversations with leading experts, we hope to develop a plausible plan for the reorganization of legal processes, ethical rules, court procedures, and pro bono programs. This forum, sponsored by the Stanford Center on the Legal Profession and the Sokolove Charitable Fund, provides a starting point for an ongoing effort to turn the tide on this increasingly significant issue. We thank you for joining us. Deborah L. Rhode James G.
