1 4 th Judicial District Court, Public Defender, Collaborations, Volunteering, Jobs & County Board October 22, 2014
2 Veterans Housing Complex Milton Schoen Area Director, Human Services Department
3 Fourth Judicial District Court Hennepin County District Court (HCDC) Peter A. Cahill Chief Judge
4 To provide justice through a system that assures equal access for the fair and timely resolution of cases and controversies
5 1 of 3 separate and co-equal branches of government Enshrined in Minnesota Constitution in 1857 (Articles III and VI) Not a state agency
6 Three levels District / Trial Courts 289 judges (10 judicial districts / HCDC is 4 th District) Court of Appeals - 19 judges Supreme Court - 7 justices
7 Jurors, unsung heroes of due process Representative government and trial by jury are the heart and lungs of liberty. (John Adams,1774) "I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution. (Thomas Jefferson, 1789)
8 Jurors, unsung heroes of due process At HCDC in 2013 o 701 jury trials requested (559 criminal, 142 civil) o 10,364 citizens participated in juror selection process (voir dire)
9 By act of the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Minnesota 1 year after Hennepin County established 3 years before Minnesota Constitution adopted 5 years before Minnesota statehood
10 Divisions Civil Criminal and Traffic Family Juvenile Probate / Mental Health (civil commitment)
11 62 judges (Number set by legislature) 15 (13.35 FTE) referees (Lower-level, specialized judicial officers) FTE staff Also, non-employees (child support referees / magistrates, Conciliation Court referees, retired judges, interpreters and others)
12 By far, busiest of state s 10 judicial districts In 2013, handled 39.4% (597,271) of state s trial court case filings More than twice as many filings as that handled by next-busiest district
13 In 2013, each of the 3 suburban courthouses in Hennepin County handled more case filings than 72 of the other 86 Minnesota counties. Combined caseloads of all 3 would create 7 th -busiest county in state
14 Hennepin County, with 22% of Minnesota s population, in 2013 was disproportionately burdened with 41% of violent crime 30% of property crime 31% of Part I offenses (more serious) 27% of Part II offenses (less serious)
15 Most criminal defendants suffer from one or more Drug abuse Alcohol abuse Mental illness Physical disability
16 Many litigants are self-represented At least one party is without an attorney in most family and minor civil cases at HCDC Slows trials and reduces court efficiency
17 Non-English speakers In 2013, HCDC handled 41.3% (10,275) of interpreter requests to judicial branch Often do not understand legal system Slows trials and reduces court efficiency
18 Workload Has no control over demand for services Provides an open door to justice; does not turn anyone away Workload reflects needs of individuals and families as well as business, state and local government, and other sectors
19 Alexander Hamilton, the first U.S. treasury secretary, wrote in Federalist Papers, No. 78: The judiciary has no influence over either the sword or the purse (1778) So too the Minnesota Judicial Branch, which depends upon the executive and legislative branches for funding
20 In current biennium (FYs ) 2% of state General Fund spent on 4 courts (Trial, Appeals, Supreme, and Tax) 3 boards (Public Defense, Guardian Ad Litem, and Judicial Standards) 2 commissions (Sentencing Guidelines, and Uniform Laws)
21 HCDC s funding in FY % from Minnesota Legislature ($57.7 million) 1.2% from temporary federal grants for 2 problem-solving courts ($0.7 million)
22 HCDC collected $50.6 million in FY 2014 Primarily from fines, surcharges and fees Disbursed 99.8% of this revenue to state, 43 cities in / and Hennepin County, and 4 other public entities Provides recipients this critical service for free
23 Key roles Forum of last resort to settle business disputes and enforce contracts Expedite these cases, when feasible, by facilitating alternative dispute resolution Stop and penalize frivolous litigation
24 High volume of cases from business, large and small Complex civil litigation (Most of state s big law firms in Minneapolis) Default judgments (for unpaid bills / debt) 24.3% (5,102) of state s total in 2013
25 Impartial state for litigation Minnesota ranks 4th among all fifty states in the fairness of its litigation environment. (behind Delaware, Nebraska and Wyoming) 2012 survey commissioned by U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform
26 An increasingly electronic court: Court records E-filing, e-charging, e-citations Converting archives to images All-electronic court files
27 An increasingly electronic court: Other applications Centralized, digital court reporting by CCTV Case information on airport-type monitors Kiosks for public defender eligibility Web hearings for some contested tickets
28 Assisting self-represented litigants Court self-help service centers at Government Center and Family Justice Center assist those without an attorney Helps to reduce courtroom delays
29 Hearing officers for contested citations In 2013, hearing officers settled and kept 91% of HCDC s contested traffic, parking and other tickets out of courtroom Helps court, prosecutors and public defenders focus on higher-priority cases
30 Problem-solving courts High-risk, high-need population Protects public safety and due process Non-adversarial prosecutor / defense counsel Intensive judicial / probationary supervision Graduated incentives and sanctions
31 Active case management by Family Court judge: Dispute resolution programs in Family Court Initial Case Management Conference Early Neutral Evaluation (Custody / Parenting time / Financial issues)
