CLEARANCE RATE REPORT First Judicial Circuit
Clearance Rate -
The clearance rate is an indicator of whether a court is "keeping up" with its incoming caseload. The rate is
determined by dividing the total number of cases disposed by the total number of cases filed during a specific time
period. For example, if a court received 1,000 new cases a month and disposed of 900 cases during the same
month, the clearance rate for that month is 90 percent. If a court's clearance rate is continually less than 100
percent over an extended period of time, the court will develop a backlog. Clearance rates statistically tend to be more volatile when measured over shorter time periods. They should be
compared over a period of five or more years to identify trends. There are many factors that can affect a court's
clearance rate, including the number of filings, judicial assignment practices, case management resources and
practices, trial rates, and reporting errors. Court managers may want to investigate these factors to identify the
source(s) of a questionable clearance rate point or trend.

CLEARANCE RATE REPORT Second Judicial Circuit
Clearance Rate -
The clearance rate is an indicator of whether a court is "keeping up" with its incoming caseload. The rate is
determined by dividing the total number of cases disposed by the total number of cases filed during a specific time
period. For example, if a court received 1,000 new cases a month and disposed of 900 cases during the same
month, the clearance rate for that month is 90 percent. If a court's clearance rate is continually less than 100
percent over an extended period of time, the court will develop a backlog. Clearance rates statistically tend to be more volatile when measured over shorter time periods. They should be
compared over a period of five or more years to identify trends. There are many factors that can affect a court's
clearance rate, including the number of filings, judicial assignment practices, case management resources and
practices, trial rates, and reporting errors. Court managers may want to investigate these factors to identify the
source(s) of a questionable clearance rate point or trend.

CLEARANCE RATE REPORT Third Judicial Circuit
Clearance Rate -
The clearance rate is an indicator of whether a court is "keeping up" with its incoming caseload. The rate is
determined by dividing the total number of cases disposed by the total number of cases filed during a specific
time period. For example, if a court received 1,000 new cases a month and disposed of 900 cases during the same
month, the clearance rate for that month is 90 percent. If a court's clearance rate is continually less than 100
percent over an extended period of time, the court will develop a backlog. Clearance rates statistically tend to be more volatile when measured over shorter time periods. They should be
compared over a period of five or more years to identify trends. There are many factors that can affect a court's
clearance rate, including the number of filings, judicial assignment practices, case management resources and
practices, trial rates, and reporting errors. Court managers may want to investigate these factors to identify the
source(s) of a questionable clearance rate point or trend.
