What are event standards?

• A. They measure progress at multiple stages rather than only at disposition
• B. They measure only at disposition
• C. They track only the oldest cases
• D. They monitor budget cycles

Answer: (A)

Event standards track how a case moves through the court, using defined events as performance indicators. They measure progress at multiple stages of the case lifecycle—such as filing, service, first appearance, setting for trial, and disposition—so the court can see how quickly cases advance and where bottlenecks occur. This helps staff manage workloads and improve efficiency before a case reaches disposition. Measuring only at disposition miss the early delays, tracking only the oldest cases ignores the ongoing flow, and monitoring budget cycles focuses on finances rather than how cases progress through the docket.
