Major Changes
•We will be instituting a Mental Health Court with tentative start date of July 1, 2025.
•Requests for jury trials have gone up from 222 in 2021 to 633 in 2024, approximately a 200% increase. This has put an enormous strain on Judges’ Office
staff. Almost 500 jury trials have been scheduled in
2025 so far.

Initiatives Underway and Conclusion
