Purpose of Study
Identify and measure the work performed by the district court judges in Kansas

work?

What is a Weighted Caseload Study?
A process of converting measures of
CASELOAD into WORKLOAD
A method for identifying the typical amount of time that is actually spent on case processing from initial filing through post-adjudication
for each identified type of case .
