The BMC Court Operations and Policy Implementation Committee is seeking your
input on how to improve operations at the Boston Municipal Court.
This committee works collaboratively with the leadership of each division
within the court to improve operations and assist in the implementation of new
Trial Court policies and initiatives. The committee's goal is to identify
operational deficiencies and to maintain the current level of services in the
midst of the current fiscal crisis.
Judge Tracy-Lee Lyons, the committee chair, has guided the group by asking:
"What is the future of the BMC?" Judge Lyons is requesting
recommendations for change that will enhance the operations of the Boston
Municipal Court Department. Specifically, the committee is
seeking comments regarding the staffing of the clerk's office, probation,
security issues (i.e. the number of court officers, etc.) as well as case flow
and case processing. The committee welcomes all suggestions, but will
focus on those that don't require an outlay of additional resources.
All feedback must be sent to Katie Elmore at kelmore@bostonbar.org by Wednesday, July
