Clerical Weighted Workload

Judicial Weighted Workload
The judicial weighted workload model document provides detailed information regarding the weights by case category for each judicial circuit. It also includes the adjustments made for the proportion of circuit civil and circuit felony cases with jury and bench trial dispositions for each circuit. The circuits are listed in order numerically across the page. You may need to scroll down in the document to find a specific circuit.

The Ratios of Dispositions document provides detailed information concerning the proportion of circuit civil and circuit felony cases with jury and bench trial dispositions by circuit. These are the proportions used to adjust weight for these types of cases in the judicial weighted workload model.

The judicial weighted workload adjustments document provides detailed information about the number of criminal case adjustments made to filings by county and case type. These are the same data used in the clerical weighted workload model.

The Treatment Court Data document provides information concerning the procedures used to determine the count of treatment court cases in the judicial weighted workload model. These are the same data used in the clerical weighted workload model.


Juvenile Officer Weighted Workload
The Juvenile Officer Weighted Workload system estimates the need for additional direct service deputy juvenile officers in Missouri’s 35 multi-county circuits. It compares the number of staff hours required to screen and process juvenile court referrals and supervise youth in accordance with the Missouri Juvenile Officer Performance Standards (2017), with the actual number of staff hours available to juvenile courts to complete these direct service activities. Workload studies are replicated periodically to ensure their accuracy. The Juvenile Officer Weighted Workload studies completed to date are available for review at the links below.
