TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Judges must determine whether or not their court administrators are performing competently and effectively. Following are several basic strategies in determining the quality of the work performed by a court administrator:
1 .The judge looks for indications of good management. A well-managed organization will have a number of plans and procedures in place, including personnel policies, recruitment and selection procedures, an orientation program for new employees, performance evaluation procedures, a discipline and grievance process, case management policies, financial controls, and other administrative policies (such as for facilities and records management).
2 .The judge should be receiving regular information. Critically important reports and data on the court's performance, plans, activities, and accomplishments should be provided to the judge on a routine basis. The judge should be notified of the number of case filings, terminations, and pending cases; financial information; staff performance; long- and short-range plans; and other statistical data .
3 .Judges must often ask others about the performance of the administrator. This includes soliciting input from lawyers, other judges, and other court staff members.
