Operational Plan for California's Judicial Branch 2012-2015
Thank you for participating in development of the Operational Plan for California’s Judicial Branch 2012-2015. This page will provide you information to assist you at this initial phase of developing that plan—looking at how best to prioritize and accomplish the branch’s work over the next 18-36 months. You will also have the opportunity to provide additional comments and perspectives on the process as we prepare for an in-person meeting in March. The ultimate goal is to develop a plan for the next three years that is focused, achievable, and reflects perspectives from numerous branch stakeholders. For this initial phase of the planning process, we are asking you to complete six distinct surveys—organized by goal—on the plan’s objectives. Your participation in this phase of the process is critical, and I thank you in advance for your contributions.

Chair, Judicial Council Executive and Planning Committee
