Caseloads of the Courts of Washington Caution Regarding Figures Published In Prior Years

Improvements to statistical tables are continually being made to enhance usability of the data for the courts. As a consequence,extreme caution must be exercised when comparing current year statistics to figures published in earlier years. Failure to carefullyconsider all footnotes, definitions, and explanatory text can lead to faulty interpretations and erroneous conclusions.

Proceedings Counts for Yakima Superior Court

Late in 2005, an error was identified in the aggregation of proceedings data for Yakima County Superior Court. The error wascorrected for 2005 data. Proceedings counts published for Yakima from August through December 2004 may be lower than the actualcounts.

Change in Criminal and Juvenile Offender Data Categorization

Pursuant to Chapter 53 Laws of 2003 (SB 5758 - effective July 1, 2004), technical (non-substantive) revisions were made to thecriminal statutes of Washington State. In conjunction with this recodification, statistical categorization of criminal and juvenileoffender cases was revised. Charges based on statutes that cite both felony and gross-misdemeanor/misdemeanor charging optionswere previously categorized as felonies. Beginning with January 2004 figures, these are categorized for statistical purposes asgross-misdemeanors/misdemeanors.

All publications since 1998 have included certain types of cases in total filings that were previously excluded from the totals. Theseinclude "matters filed with the clerks," now included in civil totals; "non-charge matters," now included in criminal and juvenileoffender totals; and "pre-placement reports," now included in adoption/paternity totals. Caseload increases attributable to thatchange in reporting convention should not be misconstrued as reflecting actual increases in court workload.

In addition, in 1992, the Washington State Association of County Clerks implemented an entirely revised reporting model. Figuresprior to 1992 are largely non-comparable to those compiled since 1992.

With continual improvements to caseload data, important revisions occur every year data are published. Your sound interpretation ofthe information depends upon a thorough review of footnotes, glossary entries, and explanatory text accompanying caseloadpublications.

1 Pursuant to Chapter 53 Laws of 2003 (SB 5758 - effective July 1, 2004), technical (non-substantive) revisions were made to the criminal statutes of Washington State. In conjunction with thisrecodification, statistical categorization of criminal cases was revised. Charges based on statutes that cite both felony and gross-misdemeanor/misdemeanor charging options were previouslycategorized as felonies. Beginning with January 2004 figures, these are categorized for statistical purposes as gross-misdemeanors/misdemeanors.2 A non-charge case is one opened for which no formal charges have been filed, such as for conducting one or more preliminary appearances prior to the filing of an information. If an information issubsequently filed, the case is counted as a criminal case as of the date the information is filed.

1 Pursuant to Chapter 53 Laws of 2003 (SB 5758 - effective July 1, 2004), technical (non-substantive) revisions were made to the criminal statutes of Washington State. In conjunction with thisrecodification, statistical categorization of criminal cases was revised. Charges based on statutes that cite both felony and gross-misdemeanor/misdemeanor charging options were previouslycategorized as felonies. Beginning with January 2004 figures, these are categorized for statistical purposes as gross-misdemeanors/misdemeanors.2 A non-charge case is one opened for which no formal charges have been filed, such as for conducting one or more preliminary appearances prior to the filing of an information. If an information issubsequently filed, the case is counted as a juvenile offender case as of the date the information is filed.

Sentences

1 Percentages not shown when numbers are less than 30.2 Pursuant to Chapter 53 Laws of 2003 (SB 5758 - effective July 1, 2004), technical (non-substantive) revisions were made to the criminal statutes of Washington State. In conjunction with this recodification,statistical categorization of criminal cases was revised. Charges based on statutes that cite both felony and misdemeanor category charging options were previously categorized as felonies. Beginning withJanuary 2004 figures, these are categorized for statistical purposes as gross misdemeanors/misdemeanors.3 A non-charge case is one opened for which no formal charges have been filed, such as for conducting one or more preliminary appearances prior to the filing of an information. If an information issubsequently filed, the case is counted as a criminal case as of the date the information is filed.4 Other resolutions include dismissals/closures by clerks and uncontested resolutions.5 Other pre-resolution hearings include pre-resolution/motion conferences, omnibus hearings, evidentiary hearings, not guilty plea hearings, continued prosecution hearings, voir dire hearings, dismissalhearings, and RALJ hearings.6 Guilty plea hearings include both guilty plea only and guilty plea and sentencing hearings.7 Review hearings include financial review hearings and sentence conditions violation hearings.

1 Percentages not shown when numbers are less than 30.2 Pursuant to Chapter 53 Laws of 2003 (SB 5758 - effective July 1, 2004), technical (non-substantive) revisions were made to the criminal statutes of Washington State. In conjunction with this recodification,statistical categorization of criminal cases was revised. Charges based on statutes that cite both felony and misdemeanor category charging options were previously categorized as felonies. Beginning withJanuary 2004 figures, these are categorized for statistical purposes as gross misdemeanors/misdemeanors.3 A non-charge case is one opened for which no formal charges have been filed, such as for conducting one or more preliminary appearances prior to the filing of an information. If an information issubsequently filed, the case is counted as a criminal case as of the date the information is filed.4 Other resolutions include dismissals/closures by clerks and uncontested resolutions.5 Other pre-resolution hearings include pre-resolution/motion conferences, omnibus hearings, evidentiary hearings, not guilty plea hearings, continued prosecution hearings, voir dire hearings, dismissalhearings, and RALJ hearings.6 Guilty plea hearings include both guilty plea only and guilty plea and sentencing hearings.7 Review hearings include financial review hearings and sentence conditions violation hearings.

(1) Standards adopted by the Board for Judicial Administration recommend that 90 percent of all criminal cases should be adjudicated within 4 months of the date of filing of the information, 98 percentwithin 6 months of filing, and 100 percent within 9 months. The figures under this heading reflect the actual percentages of these cases resolved within 4, 6 and 9 months.(2) Non-charge filings are included. Appeals from lower courts are not included in this table.(3) Lower numbers suggest proportionately smaller backlogs of pending cases.(4) Time-in-process figures do not include the time cases are placed in suspended status. A case is said to be in suspended status if it is out on warrant, in mediation, stayed, in arbitration, on appeal,on post-filing diversion, or has been continued for prosecution or placed on deferred prosecution.
