Court Performance and Statistical Services

The Department of Judicial Planning develops and maintains effective planning capabilities within Virginia’s Judicial System. Working with judicial policy-making bodies (such as the Judicial Council of Virginia and the Committee on District Courts), the Department assists the Chief Justice and Supreme Court of Virginia in identifying present and future needs, and developing and implementing innovative programs and solutions that address those needs. The Department is structurally divided between planning function staff and staff dedicated to specific programmatic or special projects.
