Strategic Plan Contributors

The more than 2,500 stakeholders and court participants who provided valuable insights about the District of Columbia Courts were essential to the strategic planning process. The Courts conducted outreach through surveys or forums with court employees, judges, court participants, attorneys, agencies, and non-profits in the community. The contents of the plan reflect their participation in this process, as they helped us establish strategic priorities and identify areas for enhancing the Courts.

External Stakeholders

Surveys were administered to our external stakeholders. Over 1,334 court participants, 803 attorneys, and 28 non-profits and agencies responded to the surveys, offering guidance about strategic planning priorities, rating their satisfaction with various aspects of the court system, and providing a wealth of comments for our consideration. We could not have adequately crafted this plan without their insights.

Internal Stakeholders

Gathering insights from internal stakeholders, a series of forums were conducted with employees and senior managers. We also surveyed magistrate, associate, and senior judges at the Court of Appeals and Superior Court. This outreach enabled judges and personnel who work in a diversity of jobs across the Courts to help evaluate priorities for this plan, identify areas for change or enhancement, and discuss our future direction.
