    Report to the Community The 2012 Annual Report of the Minnesota Judicial Branch Minnesota Judicial Branch • 25 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. • Saint Paul, MN 55155 Letter from the Chief Justice Dear fellow Minnesotans, I am pleased to present the 2012 Minnesota Judicial Branch Annual Report to the Community, which details the progress we have made on our ongoing efforts to improve the delivery of justice in our state. Over the past year we have continued to expand and improve our sharing of case information with our justice system partners, including beginning work on an updated system for timely sharing of court issued orders for protection with law enforcement agencies. By the end of 2012, the Judicial Branch was generating 1.4 million data exchanges per month with government agencies. The past year also saw the expansion of eFiling (electronic case initiation and updating) and eService. eFiling and eService for civil and family cases was made mandatory for attorneys and government agencies in district courts in Hennepin and Ramsey counties beginning September 1, 2012, and expanded on a voluntary basis to courts in Cass, Clay, Dakota, Faribault, Morrison and Washington counties. eFiling and eService is just one piece of our ambitious eCourtMN initiative, an effort to convert from paper to electronic court records. I am proud of the work our judges and employees did in 2012 to develop new and more effective ways to fulfill our mission of providing timely justice to the people of Minnesota, and I hope you find this report informative and useful. Sincerely, Lorie S.

  • 2016 Annual Report of the Minnesota Judicial Branch
    Report to the Community The 2016 Annual Report of the Minnesota Judicial Branch Minnesota Judicial Branch • 25 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. • Saint Paul, MN 1 Letter from the Chief Justice Dear fellow Minnesotans, On behalf of the judges and staff of the Minnesota Judicial Branch, I am pleased to present the 2016 Annual Report to the Community. This report highlights the efforts of the Minnesota Judicial Branch to improve and enhance the delivery of justice in our state. By constitutional imperative and statute, Minnesota’s courts must provide an open door for justice. The state’s Constitution promises every Minnesotan the right “to obtain justice freely…promptly and without delay.” This promise guides the work of the Minnesota Judicial Branch. The pages that follow will detail the many ways the Judicial Branch worked in 2016 to increase the efficiency of our courts, improve outcomes for court participants, and expand access to justice in Minnesota. These include: • Building on our successful transition to electronic court records, which has increased convenience for court users, and made it easier than ever before for the public to interact with their court; • Establishing more drug courts and other treatment court programs throughout the state, making this proven and effective criminal justice model available to more Minnesotans; • Expanding our nation-leading efforts to provide help and support to people who choose to represent themselves in court proceedings; • Providing long overdue increases to the per diem and mileage reimbursement paid to jurors; and • Launching the first statewide initiative aimed at improving the safety and security of our courthouses.
