California Judicial system

California Judicial system

California Judicial system is the largest in the United States of America, and it is meant to serve 39 million people of diverse backgrounds. The system has 2000 judicial officers and over 19000 employees who all work hard in hard to deliver court services to the general public (Keilitz et al.). In my readings, I was inspired by the fact that the California Judicial system has a passion for giving excellent services as well as to serve the community better. In goal one of the strategic plan 2019-2020, the judicial system will is to use the technology not only for its security and infrastructure advancement but also aiming at creating a digital court that will be able to serve the community effectively. Therefore, technology advancement in courts is meant to be able to deliver justice to members of the public in a timely and more efficient manner and as well as to protect the safety of the people (Keilitz et al.).

Though the primary aim function of the judiciary is to

deliver justice to members of the public, the discovery that the court system

has programs aimed at improving services on issues concerning domestic violence

amazed me. The Centre for Families, Children and the Courts (CFCC) is one of

the programs aimed at improving the ability of judicial officers, mediators,

court clerks, investigators, and counselors to handle cases concerning domestic

violence. The training offered by CFCC isis essential in promoting best

practices when it comes to domestic violence throughout the state of California

(Courts).

Mission, vision, and the purpose of an organization are

all different. To enhance understanding, the author has defined different

terms, citing that vision is the place an organization needs to be in the

future, the mission is the current position of the organization, values are the

culture of the organization and principles provide a sense of direction

(Kenny). However, the purpose is how the organization wants other people,

particularly the customers, feel. Putting this in the context of the judiciary,

it is clear that the judicial system is more inclined to enhance the

satisfaction of the public.
