JUDICIAL COUNCIL MEMBERS

As of June 30, 1997, the California judicial system consisted of 174courts and 1,580 authorized judgeships, of which 1,537 were filled.(References to judgeships in this report refer to authorized positions.) Thenames of judges of the Supreme Court, Courts of Appeal, and superiorcourts are listed in the California Official Reports.

Approximately 8.9 million cases were filed during fiscal year 1996–97.The judicial system costs in 1997–98, not including capital outlay

for facilities, total $1.78 billion. The Governor’s Budget for 1997–98 in-cluded a successful proposal to restructure the state’s trial court fundingsystem. The proposal consolidated funding of the courts at the state level,ending bifurcated funding between the state and the counties. Countiesare contributing $1.2 billion, or 76 percent of total trial court funding, tothe state as their share for 1997–98. In 1998–99, their share will drop to $831 million, or 48 percent, based on projected total expenditures.

The California Constitution vests the judicial power of the state in aSupreme Court, Courts of Appeal, superior courts, and municipal courts.(Cal. Const., art. VI, § 1.) The superior and municipal courts are thestate’s trial courts; the Supreme Court and Courts of Appeal are appellatecourts that primarily review trial court decisions.

The Constitution also provides for three agencies concerned with judi-cial administration: the Judicial Council, which improves the administra-tion of justice (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 6); the Commission on JudicialAppointments, which votes to confirm gubernatorial appointees to appel-late court vacancies (Cal. Const., art. VI, §§ 7, 16); and the Commissionon Judicial Performance, which deals with the admonishment, censure,removal, or retirement of judges for misconduct or disability (Cal. Const.,art. VI, §§ 8, 18).

COURTS OF APPEAL

Figure 1n The ratio of pending fully briefed

appeals to appeals disposed of bywritten opinion is a measure ofpending workload as well as judicialproductivity. The ratio is an estimateof time a court needs to dispose ofpending fully briefed appeals. A ratioof 100 is equivalent to one year, 50 isequivalent to six months, and so forth.The estimate is based on the assumptionthat the court will decide the samenumber of appeals in 1997–98 as in1996–97.

n The Second District had 25 fully briefedappeals per 100 appeals disposed of byopinions in 1996–97, the lowest ratioamong the six appellate districts. Giventhe assumption noted above, it wouldtake three months for the court todisposed of its pending fully briefedappeals.

n The Fourth District had 81 pendingfully briefed appeals per 100 appealsdisposed of by opinion, the highestamong the six appellate districts.

n The statewide average decreased from51 to 48 pending fully briefed appealsper 100 appeals disposed of by opinion.

n The Sixth District had the largest ratioincrease, from 33 to 46.

n The Second District reported thehighest rate of 171 opinions per judge-equivalent — 16 percent higherthan the statewide average.

n The First District reported the lowestopinion rate, with 109 per judge-equivalent. However, the First Districthad the lowest number of pending fullybriefed appeals per authorized justice.The lower disposition rate may reflectthat fewer cases are available for thejustices.

n Beyond an optimum number of opinions(not yet identified), high rates of disposition indicate overload and a need for additional judgeships.
