ST. PAUL — The Minnesota Judicial Branch is updating its strategic plan and is seeking public input.
The plan guides how the state's judiciary makes decisions and allocates its budget.
"As part of this process, the Branch gathers input from litigants, justice partners and members of the public," a news release stated.
A survey is available online until Friday, Feb. 20, and all responses are anonymous.
Survey participants are encouraged to review the Branch's mission, vision and goals:
- Mission: To provide justice through a system that assures equal access for the fair and timely resolution of cases and controversies.
- Vision: The general public and those who use the court system will refer to it as accessible, fair, consistent, responsive, free of discrimination, independent, and well-managed.
- Values: Collaboration, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Equal Justice for All, Innovation, Public Service, Public Trust and Confidence
- Strategic Goals: Access to Justice, Effective Administration of Justice, and Public Trust & Accountability
