metrics for judicial performance

Judicial performance metrics assess how effectively judges do their job, focusing on fairness, efficiency, and quality. Common measures include case clearance rates (handling cases promptly), backlog size (pending cases), consistency with legal standards, and participant satisfaction. Additionally, factors like adherence to procedural rules and timely rulings reflect a judge’s professionalism. These metrics help ensure courts deliver fair, efficient justice while maintaining public trust. They are tools for continuous improvement rather than judgment of individual judges, supporting accountability and excellence within the judiciary.
