Statistical Supplements
Each Annual Report of Michigan State Courts contains highlights
of the judiciary and judicial caseload for that year. The statistical
supplements provide additional statewide, regional, and trial court
caseload statistics. The reports are either summary reports, providing
statistics for groups of cases, or detail reports, providing statistics
for each case-type code. In addition to these resources, court users
have access to an automated system which can be used to generate additional
caseload reports. See case
type code lists for more information about the two-letter case
types used in the statistical supplements. To access annual reports
and statistical supplements for years prior to 1999, please contact
the Library of Michigan at (517) 373-1300. For more information about
the statistical supplements, contact Trial Court Services.

Clearance Rates
Clearance rates are one measure of caseflow management and indicate the extent to which a court is keeping up with incoming caseload. Clearance rates are calculated by dividing the number of outgoing cases (cases disposed or made inactive) by the number of incoming cases (cases filed or reopened) during a specific time period. Because there is a lag in time between when cases are filed and when they are disposed, clearance rates naturally fluctuate to a small extent above and below 100%.
If a clearance rate is more than 100%, more cases were disposed
than were filed or reopened during the year or years measured.
If a clearance rate is 100%, the number of cases disposed equals
the number of cases filed or reopened during the year or years
measured.
If a clearance rate is less than 100%, fewer cases were disposed
than were filed or reopened during the year or years measured.

Friend of the Court Customer Service Report,
January 2004
In her January 15, 2003, letter to the Governor, the Attorney General,
and all legislators, former Chief Justice Corrigan acknowledged that the ever-increasing
volume of family court litigation had triggered a waive of complaints
about the Friend of the Court (FOC). Justice Corrigan promised that she would
study the problem and then take steps to improve FOC customer service
and reduce the number of complaints received by state officeholders.
She asked the others to help by forwarding every FOC complaint to the
Friend of the Court Bureau (FOCB) for analysis.
The FOCB reviewed 434 complaint letters. About half were addressed
directly to the FOCB. The remainder was forwarded by other state officials.
The letters in both groups were substantively similar. The charts
at the end of this report show where the letters came from and what
issues they raised. This report summarizes the problems revealed by
those letters and recommends solutions. See
the report.

Noncustodial Parent Program: Support Collected in
Fiscal Years 1998-1999 through 2001-2002
The Noncustodial Parent Program allows courts and friends of the court
to refer parents to a Michigan Workfirst! agency for assistance in becoming
employed or improving employment. See the charts
which demonstrate the improvement in collections that has resulted from
referrals to the Non-Custodial Parent Program.

Counsel Appointments
Trial courts can appoint attorneys to represent indigent defendants in criminal matters and juveniles in delinquency cases, and all parties in child protective cases. Courts can also appoint counsel for certain individuals in mental competency, guardianship, and conservatorship proceedings. The trial court's funding unit, which is generally a county or city, compensates these court-appointed attorneys. Under Michigan Court Rule 8.123, each trial court must compile an annual report of the total public funds paid to each court-appointed attorney. Trial courts must make that information available for public inspection, without charge.
