The LASC has launched its Normalization of Operations Work plan (N.O.W.) for the Court and its justice partners to systematically address pandemic-related criminal case delays and safely restore criminal operations to pre-pandemic levels of efficiency.
N.O.W., the Court says, “builds on the Court’s measured and deliberate approach to safely restore court operations by reducing Criminal case backlogs and increasing timely and equal access to justice for criminal litigants.”
The plan calls for a focus on safely expanding the Court’s criminal operations while carefully monitoring COVID-19 case trends in Los Angeles County. It will also allow Court leadership to look at all aspects of criminal operations to address the pandemic’s impacts on the justice system, including the Emergency Bail Schedule.
