The Judiciary today reported on the progress made in 2022 in a number of critical areas of court operations, including improved safety and security of judges and staff, the courthouses where they work, and the IT systems relied on by the courts for day-to-day operations.
A national Office of Judicial Integrity was created, and the circuits established Circuit Directors of Workplace Relations in addition to existing EDR coordinators at every court. This progress was described in a March 2022 report, which also included nine recommendations for further action.
In the accompanying Judicial Business of the United States report, the Judiciary provides statistical tables about federal caseloads by circuit, district, and offense, among other topics. It compares data for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2022, with data for prior years.
The Judiciary can look back on 2022 as a year of progress on many critical fronts. Through the work of judges, court executives, and support staff, the courts will be safer and their information technology will be more user-friendly and secure. Courts are returning to pre-pandemic operations as the COVID-19 crisis recedes.
