Title: How do you all measure performance/efficiency in your practice or court?

TLDR: Here is what my court uses to measure courts objectively, what do you use?: http://www.courtools.org/trial-court-performance-measures

 

In my local court, my team and I use these 10 CourTools as key performance indicators (KPIs) for any case, attorney, or person of the court. As I start to implement these into tableau calculations I was curious if anyone else used CourtTools. If so, how do they calculate some of them in Tableau? If not then how do other legal organizations measure performance?

 

The following are 10 NSCS measures of criminal court performance:

  1.  Access and Fairness Survey
  2. Clearance Rates
  3. Time to Disposition (Case Duration)
  4. Age of Active Pending Caseload
  5. Trial Date Certainty
  6. Reliability and Integrity of Case Files
  7. Fairness and Management Legal Financial Obligations
  8. Effective Use of Jurors
  9. Court Employee Satisfaction
  10. Cost Per Case

    Is it too late to answer this? Umm, my organization uses Tableau and Machine Learning to help with Case Management in the Judicial System. Right now we visualization a cases time to disposition (aka case duration) using Tableau. Recently, I found these tableau public pages that have similar work:

Looking for new ways to make visual the impact of how court settlements are reached and paid out -- time value of money, cash flow impact, etc.

 

Some simple datapoints:

* Date Lawsuit Filed

* Date Lawsuit Resolved

* Amount Lawsuit Resolved for

* Date Paid

 

What would be an innovative way to show over the course of time passing between the three dates before the payment was actually made? This can be months or even years in some cases...

 

Thanks for any thoughts!

    Nice thought,

    From data prep perspective i'd say have a single Date column (M/D/YYYY) and correspondingly add Event column which can track the updates.

    It would be better to have multiple tables with different aggregation levels. For ex. # of sessions with attorney, billable / non-billable work hours, other KPIs to study the entire litigation, etc.

Hello fellow Tableau users in the legal industry.  I'm wondering to what extent your firms are using analytics, and how much support you're finding for sharing data across different departments, if that's something you have tried.  This User group is small, and I think that reflects how Tableau users are at the beginning of the curve when it comes to analytics at law firms, but would love to hear your take on it as well as your experience.

    Thanks so much for your reply, Daniel.  I know many law firms can be a bit cagey about sharing information between departments, for a variety of reasons.  Our Marketing department has a good relationship with our Finance department, and so have been able to share some of our information (in both directions).  Each trusts the other to be responsible about the data shared, based at this point on a long history of working together.  Have you looked into folding in other sources of information (internal and external)?
