§ 68619 Judicial Council Delay Rules

• •The Judicial Council checks local court rules to make sure they don’t cause unnecessary delays.
• •They suggest changes to keep rules similar across different courts.
• •They also create standard rules for courts that want to speed up their cases.
• •These rules were only in effect until July 1, 1992.

Imagine two nearby courts handle cases very differently—one takes months longer than the other for the same type of case.

The Judicial Council would review both courts' rules, suggest changes to make them more similar, and even create a standard rule to help both courts work faster.
