Time to Disposition

What it is: In January 2013, the Utah Judicial Council adopted time to disposition guidelines suggesting 95% of case dispositions meet the established time goal. Time to Disposition is the courts' assessment of how long it should take to resolve each case type.

How it is measured: Time to Disposition focuses on resolved cases rather than cases in progress. It is calculated as the percentage of cases disposed within the time standard set for each case type by the Utah Judicial Council. Any days in which a case is inactive because proceedings are stayed or a warrant is active are subtracted from the total number of days.

Why it is important: Time to Disposition allows a district to compare its timeliness to established guidelines.
