Patience will be required of everyone. Significantly Reduced Judicial Resources The Judicial Council recently decided that we must wait a minimum of four months to fill any judicial vacancies. This presents a big practical problem for us and our justice partners. A study by the Office of the Legislative Auditor determined that Minnesota judges handle approximately 49 Judge Swenson is the chief percent more cases per judge than judges in each of our judge of Minnesota's Fourth neighboring states, plus Illinois, Kansas, and Missouri. Your Judicial District. Hennepin County District Court is even more productive Prirrtahle Version when compared to other large urban courts in America, handling about twice as many cases as judges in comparable large urban counties. According to the newest judicial weighted caseload numbers, your court has at least five fewer judges than it needs to properly perform its work even before we consider the impact of the current and pending vacant positions. Judge Warren Sagstuen retired in September, Judges Tanja Manrique and Stephen Aldrich retired at the end of October, and part-time Judge Hopper retired at the end of December. Another judge reaches mandatory retirement in February 2011 and as many as five or more judges may retire before the end of the second quarter. Depending upon how soon we can fill the seats left vacant by our fall 2010 retirees, we are looking at a very serious judge shortage for a number of months during the first half of 2011. The situation is not likely to improve soon as we anticipate additional retirements next summer. Some people suggest that we can fill these vacant positions with senior (retired) judges, but that is not the case. First, the funding formula for employing senior judges only allows us to use senior judges three out of every four days of judicial vacancies. Second, this first round of vacant positions is cropping up during the winter months when many of our senior judges are happily enjoying their retirement in warmer climates. Third, even if we could hire senior judges on a one to one basis, I doubt that we could find enough qualified senior judges to fill our needs. As you no doubt know by now, we have eliminated the master calendar for our criminal cases and all criminal cases are now blocked. This means that we no longer have opportunities for senior judges to fill in on a day to day basis, handle traditional mass calendars, and leave at the end of the day without orders to write and follow-up appearances to handle. Instead, we need committed senior judges to work for extended periods, pick up a significant number of blocked cases, and work those cases like their own. Technological Advances Patience will be needed as well as we roll out our many technological innovations. By the time this article is published, our Civil Division will have commenced its e -filing pilot for new attorney -initiated, major civil cases, officially known as the Civil Electronic Filing Pilot http:l/hennepin.timberlakepublishing.com/article.asp?article=1495&paper=l&cat=147 2/16/2011 State of the Judiciary: Much Patience Needed in 2011 - Features/Substantive Law - The H... Page 2 of 5 15 Project. The pilot is starting with six law firms, and will include case documents such as pleadings, service records, court notices, orders and judgments, and service/collection of any required filing fees. During the pilot stage, e -filing will be limited to test cases, but we anticipate that it will be mandatory for all civil cases sometime in the future. The pilot does not presently include existing civil cases, probate, mental health, conciliation, housing, or family court cases. We intend to phase in e -filing for all other case types and all parties soon. The project began with a dedicated work group who studied seven e -filing providers, including each system's potential compatibility with the Minnesota Court Information System (MNCIS), the court case management system. Tyler Technologies was selected as the vendor to assist with our electronic filing initiative. The work group also solicited participation from a variety of law firms to help us develop a best -process model for the rest of the state. Judges Robert Blaeser and Pete Cahill addressed the HCBA last March 8 and shared information regarding our proposed initiative, gained buy -in, and sought firms interested in participating in the pilot. Six firms that accepted the challenge include Bassford Remele; Rausch, Sturm, Israel, Enerson ft Hornik; Dorsey It Whitney; Faegre 8. Benson; Lindquist 8 Vennum; and Maslon, Edelman, Borman Et Brand. The bench greatly appreciates the interest and commitment shown by these justice partners. E -filing will improve efficiency, plus save paper and postage and file storage space. It will be easy to learn for both court staff (takes only 45 minutes) and those who will e -file their pleadings. When the civil e -filing pilot is finished, all the kinks will have been worked out, and you will enjoy the benefits of a state-of-the-art e -filing system that has been developed with the needs of the bar firmly in mind. Soon after e -filing is up and running for new civil cases, we will expand the initiative to our other courts. These additional rollouts will require more patience as we discover the tweaks and adjustments necessary to meet the needs of these diverse courts and justice partners. Our new court calendar display monitor system—similar to airport flight information monitors— is another technological improvement rolled out in late 2010. The display is located on the wall on the Public Service Level, near the C Tower weapons screening entrance. We have 12 monitors that list court hearing locations by each party's last name. If for some reason a case fails to appear on the monitor or a customer is unable to read English, a phone next to the monitors will offer assistance from Violations Bureau staff. Other technological improvements include a kiosk system for determining public defender eligibility. These kiosks should be in place at all Criminal Division locations by late spring 2011. We are currently redesigning our public website, with a view to improving user-friendly access to court information. Also on the horizon are large scale, batch scanning of existing files to facilitate our move to a paperless court; wiring of more courtrooms to expand our digital court record project; and more use of interactive television (ITV). Chief Justice John T. Broderick of New Hampshire recently observed that "innovation is no Longer just a good idea, it is an absolute prerequisite to survival." A growing population of Limited english proficiency (LEP) Minnesota citizens, coupled with difficult economic times, presents challenges. In order to ensure that equal access to justice will continue to be met, Minnesota courts, including the Hennepin County District Court, have developed, trained, and certified a strong base of professional court interpreters. Now that our courts face increasing demands for efficiency and access, we need to rethink our traditional model of court interpreting. Hennepin County District Court has developed and is currently piloting a remote interpretation program. Using state-of-the-art ITV technology, our program allows your court and its partners to improve the availability of certified interpreters throughout the metropolitan area, along with greater Minnesota, while reducing costs to taxpayers, scheduling delays, and travel time. In order to identify optimal best practices, our implementation team carefully studied other state and federal systems that currently rely on remote interpreters. Re-engineering the way our courts provide interpretation services follows the national push for increased efficiency while meeting head-on the reality of limited resources, all without sacrificing quality. In late October we went live with our first cross -district remote interpretation using a Hennepin interpreter to help out in Carver County. It was a big success as noted in the following report from Carver County: Today we had our first remote interpreting session for two bail hearings with Sebastian Mesa as the interpreter. Sebastian Mesa is a Minnesota state certified, Hennepin County staff interpreter. Judge Eide was at the helm of this very successful first remote interpreting http://hetinepiii.tinlberlakeptiblisliing.com/article.asp?articte-1495&paper=l&cat=147 2/16/2011 State of the Judiciary: Much Patience Needed in 2011 - Features/Substantive Law - The H... Page 3 of 5 16 session and did a great job in ensuring the hearing ran smoothly. Sebastian interpreted for about 15 minutes. We not only used the interpreter in an efficient matter [by using the interpreter after he finished his morning work in Hennepin], we saved about $50 in the process and avoided travel time and cost for the interpreter. Divisions and Expanding Specialty Courts Last year, Criminal Division Presiding Judge Mark Wernick explained our efforts to eliminate the criminal master calendar in favor of totally blocked criminal assignments. Ridgedale was the first court out of the gate and former Assistant Chief Judge Denise Reilly has been our lead pilot judge. She reports that more than 15,000 cases are filed in the Ridgedale court each year. These cases originate from 24 municipalities and the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District. Prior to January 2010, the Ridgedale courthouse was staffed by one -and -a -half judges each week. Starting in January 2010, that compliment was reduced to one judge per week, with the pilot staffed by four civil judges who each spend one week out of every four at Ridgedale. All new cases are blocked to one of these four judges at the arraignment stage. All stakeholders have noticed a reduction in the number of court appearances, continuances, and trial settings. This initiative has generated measurable savings for most cities, including a reduction in overtime payment for police officers who must be on call for trials. Our public defender partners have realized savings as well because they need to prepare for and try far fewer cases. Last year I alerted you to our plans for a new pilot project providing services to low-income, unmarried parents appearing on the county paternity calendar. With federal, state, and foundation funding in place to serve 300 parents per year for three years, Co -Parent Court is now operating Thursday afternoons in Judge Bruce Peterson's courtroom. The court arranges basic social services and attendance at co -parent education classes, plus provides assistance completing a tailor-made parenting plan along with the traditional functions of establishing paternity and setting child support. The project seeks to learn whether child well-being can be improved by helping unmarried parents work together and plan for the future. The University of Minnesota is conducting an evaluation using a control group to provide meaningful data on the effectiveness of this expanded approach to paternity adjudication. Because we lacked expertise and resources to implement this kind of direct service totally on our own, Co -Parent Court was developed using extensive collaboration of experienced government and community agencies --Hennepin County Child Support, the University of Minnesota Extension Service, Northpoint Health and Wellness Center, the FATHER Project, the Legal Rights Center, and the Domestic Abuse Project and other domestic violence advocates. Co -Parent Court is unique nationally, and we look forward to refining this approach and better serving these parents as evaluation results become available. Our Drug and DWI Courts are now being presided over by one judge, John Holahan. This resource consolidation has resulted in more effective case management and a better utilization of our problem -solving court resources. Judge Holahan conducts participant reviews five days a week. There are currently 130 drug court participants and 100 DWI court participants in these courts. Since January 2007, 250 people had entered the DWI Court, and 100 have graduated. Only a handful of graduates have reoffended. By any measure the program has been an outstanding success in preventing repeat drunk drivers from reoffending. We hope to include felony DWI offenders in this program in the near future. During the last year, four more police departments voluntarily joined with our first three justice partners, Minneapolis, Bloomington, and the Hennepin County Sheriff, all of whom perform unannounced home visits of their residents participating in DWI Court. We welcome the Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Plymouth, and Golden Valley police departments as our new justice partners and members of the DWI court team. During the coming years we plan to invite more police departments to join the program. On July 12, 2010, the Hennepin County Veterans Court began as another pilot project. This is an historic collaboration of our local criminal justice partners with the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The project is intended to identify criminal defendants who served in the armed forces and need medical, chemical health, and mental health services, and then connect them with needed services provided by the VA. In exchange for using these services and submitting to intensive supervision, each participant receives a more favorable disposition of the criminal case than would normally be imposed. This project is intended to stop veterans with untreated psychological war injuries from cycling through the criminal justice system. http://llcnnepin.timberlakepublishing.com/article.asp?article-1495&paper=l&cat=147 2/16/2011 State of the Judiciary: Much Patience Needed in 2011 - Features/Substantive Law - The H... Page 4 of 5 17 After just three months since the start of the program, the quota of 30 defendants has been filled with veterans of the Vietnam, First Gulf, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars, and periods between. These veterans are receiving VA services for post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries, and chemical dependency. They are intensively supervised by probation officers and regularly attend court reviews. Evidence to date suggests improved compliance with services and a reduction in new arrests. We intend to apply for federal funding so as to enable the project to meet the needs of more veterans. Street prostitution is a serious community problem in certain areas of north and south Minneapolis. The women engaging in this behavior often have significant mental health and chemical dependency problems and do not always respond to traditional correctional treatment. Our G.I.F.T. (Gaining Independence for Females in Transition) calendar is designed to provide these women with the services necessary to meet their mental and chemical needs, along with intensive supervision and emotional support to change their lifestyle. Over 50 women are involved in the program and attend monthly judicial reviews. The program is intended to reduce recidivism and remove these women from a dangerous and degrading lifestyle. The quality of life in downtown Minneapolis has been eroded by the activities of chronic offenders who commit petty street crimes. These individuals are often chemically dependent and homeless. Our St. Stephen's Calendar uses a "housing first" model that was developed in New York City. Chronic jail, detox center, and homeless shelter users are identified and then provided with housing by outreach workers from St. Stephen's Human Services. Participants also receive necessary services and training to help remain law abiding. They appear for monthly judicial reviews and receive a more favorable criminal disposition in exchange for reduced arrests and maintaining good relationships with their landlords. Our civil division is expanding its Hennepin County Pro Bono Mediation Program. Because the cost of retaining a private mediator can be a hardship for many litigants, the pro bono mediation program has been providing free mediation services for persons who obtain In Forma Pauperis status (household income up to 125 percent of the poverty level). Pro bono attorneys from six law firms volunteer their time to mediate the cases. The participating law firms are Dorsey B: Whitney; Faegre ft Benson; Fredrikson l3 Byron; Leonard, Street and Deinard; Lindquist It Vennum; and Briggs and Morgan. I am delighted to report that the program has now been expanded to include litigants with household incomes up to 300 percent of the poverty level. The expanded program will provide an increased number of litigants with the opportunity to resolve their disputes prior to trial, along with the attendant savings in judicial time and resources. At a late October bench meeting, the judges of your court voted to increase the minimum rotation in our Juvenile and Family courts to three years. Self -Help Centers Your court continues to operate Self -Help Centers at the Family Justice Center and Government Center. The Self -Help Centers (SHCs) provide education, forms, and referrals to people starting or responding to court cases without lawyers. The SHCs play a critical role in advancing the court's vision of a fair and accessible justice system, while also contributing to greater efficiency in tight budget times. Like the court as a whole, the SHCs are focusing on technology. During the past year, the SHCs began directing all pro se marriage dissolution and harassment case petitioners to "document assembly tools" on the court's website for preparation of pleadings and proposed orders. Computers and assistance are available at the SHCs if needed, plus staff members review the completed forms. Systematic use of these tools allows the SHC to evaluate its effectiveness in helping people with widely varying ages, education levels, computer skills, and language capabilities, while also facilitating our planning for further use of technology to serve pro se Litigants, such as e -filing. The vast majority of our self-help customers are successful at using these tools, and their pleadings are more complete than pleadings prepared using paper forms. Better prepared pleadings yield time savings for both the public and your court, and, of course, more legible documents. Legal services clinics and attorneys providing unbundled legal services also make use of the tools, which are available at www.mncourts.gov/forms under the topics "Divorce" and "Harassment." The Minnesota Legal Services Coalition and the court collaborated in littp://hennepin.timberlakeptrblishing.com/article.asp?article=1495&paper—1&cat= 147 2/16/2011 State of the Judiciary: Much Patience Needed in 2011 - Features/Substantive Law - The H... Page 5 of 5 IN developing these tools. The statewide SHC services remain housed in Hennepin County. Our SHCs benefit from an active, thriving state SHC because customers go to the website first, and then come in to our SHCs with specific questions instead of needing explanations regarding the entire process. About 30 percent of calls to the state SHC are from Hennepin County residents; individuals are able to call or a -mail the MN Courts SHC service instead of coming downtown—which works great for follow-up questions and people who need less help. News and Notes The Hennepin County bench continues to work closely with the HCBA to help lawyers understand judicial decision making, develop courtroom skills, and learn the best courtroom practices. Through the Master Trial Lawyers Practice Series and the Candid Conversations Series, dozens of judges and hundreds of lawyers benefit from informational sessions and practice opportunities. The bench also partnered with numerous firms, individual lawyers, Legal Aid, and others to provide education and courtroom practice opportunities for hundreds more attorneys. Jim Campbell received the second annual Steven A. Pihlaja Justice Partner Award on October 4. He was honored for his exemplary volunteer work since 1995 as a mediator in Housing and Harassment courts, as well as a Guardian ad Litem in Family and Juvenile courts. His efforts have saved taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years as he facilitated win-win mediation outcomes. Jim's volunteer efforts help advance the Fourth Judicial District's vision statement: "To be recognized as providing an accessible, fair, courteous, efficient and innovative system of justice." I am proud to say that my colleagues continue to be recognized for their outstanding service. Judge Cara Lee Neville has been elected as the secretary of the American Bar Association. Her term runs from August 2011 to August 2014. Judge Jay Quam received the 2010 HCBA Judicial Professionalism Award. Judge Denise Reilly, along with her colleagues involved in the Coleman/Franken election contest trial, received the Trial Judge of the Year Award from the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). Judge Wernick has been appointed as chair to the Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Rules of Criminal Procedure. (D 2002 Timberlake Publishing.
