Examining the CFSR Outcomes and Systemic Factors: Legal and Judicial Perspective

The Capacity Building Center for Courts created this document to help states consider the legal dimensions of the seven outcomes and seven systemic factors assessed in the CFSR. It annotates 36 items within the outcomes and systemic factors that have legal and judicial aspects, to illustrate practice and policy issues that may require attention. The “Considerations for legal professionals” column identifies practice and policy issues for legal professionals as well as identifies Judicial, Court, and Attorney Measures of Performance (JCAMP) to help jurisdictions assess outcomes and systemic factors during the CFSR process.
