FOREWORD
The court reorganization movement in North Carolina be-gan
in the mid nineteen-fifties and culminated in the adoption
of constitutional amendments in 1962 and 1965 and the enact-ment
of the "Judicial Department Act of 1965." Yet, North
Carolina's unified judicial system is still relatively young. The
year 1972 marks only the second year during which all divi-sions
of the General Court of Justice have operated in each of
the State's 100 counties. The Judicial Department consists of
an Appellate Division composed of the Supreme Court and the
Court of Appeals (which has been fully operational since 1968)
,
a Superior Court Division and a District Court Division. The
system is unified for purposes of jurisdiction, operation and
administration. All of the officers and personnel of the Judicial
Department are employees of the State.
There are now 7 justices of the Supreme Court, 9 judges of
the Court of Appeals, 49 full-time Superior Court judges, 112
District Court judges, 30 district attorneys and 101 assistant
district attorneys, 2 public defenders and 7 assistant public de-fenders
(serving in the 12th and 18th judicial districts), 100
clerks of the superior court, approximately 520 magistrates, ap-proximately
125 juvenile counselors (serving in 13 judicial dis-tricts),
76 court reporters, and approximately 1,100 supporting
personnel (primarily assistants, deputies, secretarial and cleri-cal
personnel in the offices of clerks of the superior court)
.
The Administrative Officer of the Courts is required to
"submit an annual report on the work of the Judicial Depart-ment"
to the Chief Justice and the members of the General
Assembly. This Annual Report is based upon data supplied by
the clerks of superior court on a monthly and quarterly basis.
The data contained herein can most appropriately be used in
making year-to-year comparisons for the entire system and in
comparing the performance of different counties and judicial
districts. The data is also the beginning point for independent
analysis of the performance of the courts of each county and
judicial district. Although caution should be used in generalizing
about the performance of the entire General Court of Justice,
this report does evaluate the status of the criminal and civil
dockets of the Superior and District Court divisions. These eval-uations
are carefully grounded on the available data base, but
they derive from quantitative rather than qualitative data and
are based upon totals for groups of counties rather than a thor-oughgoing
analysis of each county.
As explained in the foreword to last year's Annual Report,
most of the year-to-year comparisons in the narrative portion
of this report are based upon the 83 counties where the court
structure was constant throughout the period of comparison.
The 83 counties that have been within the system for four or
more years are referred to as "Group I" and the 17 counties,
that entered the system on December 7, 1970, are referred to
as "Group II."
As discussed at page 24 of the 1971 Annual Report, there
are a number of statistical indicators that may be used in eval-uating
court performance. There is no single barometer that
gives a weighted average of all factors. In the 1971 Annual
Report the superior and district court dockets were examined
in terms of what percent the number of cases pending at the
end of the year is of the total number of dispositions for the
year. This indicator has been given greater emphasis in this
year's report since the proportion of cases pending in relation
to dispositions suggests a measure of court congestion. The in-dicator
is calculated by dividing the cases pending by the cases
disposed of, and is called the "pending ratio."
The statistics contained herein are case flow statistics and
none are "backlog" or "delay" statistics. This report uses "cases
rending" as one unit of analysis, but the term "backlog" will
not be found herein and it is inaccurate to apply that term to
the cases which are properly described as "pending." A case
which is pending may be two days or two years old. "Backlog"
may be tentatively defined as those cases which have been pend-ing
disposition longer than an agreed upon standard of time
for the average case of the same type in the same court. A
"delayed" case would be any case which exceeded the agreed
upon standard time-frame and such cases could also be describ-ed
as "backlogged." Even if an agreed upon standard time-frame
with supporting data was available, such data could only pro-perly
be used (as is the case with the data which is available)'
as a starting point for analysis.
In any case, the Administrative Office does not now col-lect
data on the length of time required for the disposition of
particular cases. This is a deficiency which will be corrected.
This office commissioned a special study which was conducted
during 1972 with the purpose of determining the amount of
time required to dispose of cases in the criminal division of
the Superior Court. The results of that study will be available
within the next few months. Additionally, this office is now
planning for the implementation of a revised and expanded sta-tistical
reporting system which will provide information on the
length of time it requires to dispose of cases. Both of these pro-jects
are being supported with LEAA funds administered by
the Governor's Committee on Law and Order.
Whatever the unit of analysis, whether "cases pending,"
"delayed cases," or "pending ratios," a number of questions
must be asked once the raw data is available. At what point in
8
time is the data stated? Cases pending, for example, are stated
as of December 31, 1972; are they generally higher during a
holiday season? What effect do the customs and practices of
the local bar have upon courtroom and trial delays? What are
the policies of the court, the bar, and district attorneys with res-pect
to continuances? Is there a well thought out system for
the calendaring of cases? Are pre-trial release procedures work-ing
effectively? Is the waiver procedure for motor vehicle cases
fully utilized? Are continuances caused by court congestion or
are they sought after by the parties? What effect do sentenc-ing
practices have upon the rate of criminal appeals between
the District and Superior Courts? How much court was held in
the district and how often? (In some counties there are no more
than two weeks of superior court each year.) What are the geo-graphical
dimensions of the judicial district? Are seats of court
distant from one another, requiring a great deal of travel time
by court officials? Are there sufficient courtrooms available
when needed? Are the courtrooms located and designed so as to
permit efficient dispatch of the court's business? How many
cases counted as "pending" are essentially "dead" cases and
will ultimately be nol prossed or dismissed? (It may in fact be
customary strategy to file a civil action knowing at the time
that the case will never be tried ; similarly, it may be good stra-tegy
for the district attorney not to nol pros a case, although
knowing that it will never be tried.) What is the extent of plea
bargaining in the district? What is the settlement rate in the
district ? Has there been illness among court officials ? Are there
adequate investigatory resources? Are law enforcement and
expert witnesses available when needed? The above list is not
exhaustive but is illustrative of the types of questions that must
be explored in analyzing the statistical data for each county
and district.
The purpose of this foreword has not been to denigrate the
statistical data reported herein, but to stress the subtlety and
complexity of the variables which they reflect. All quantitative
data must be read with care and this is especially true of court
statistics. Too great a reliance on numbers alone gives credence
to the concept of "mass justice." Court officials know that jus-tice
is administered to individuals.

THE APPELLATE DIVISION
THE SUPREME COURT
One hundred and seventy-five opinions were filed by the
Supreme Court in 1972. Full opinions were rendered in 172 cases
and 3 opinions were per curiam. Of the total, 102 were criminal
and 73 were civil cases. Seventy-eight percent (80 opinions) of
the criminal appeals were affirmed and 4.7% (34 opinions) of the
civil appeals were affirmed. In the remaining cases, the Su-preme
Court modified the decision from which the appeal was
taken. As reported in the North Carolina Reports the court dis-posed
of 228 petitions for certiorari, 33 motions to dismiss, 6
motions to rehear, and 4 motions to withdraw.

THE SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION
The performance of the superior court division of the Gen-eral
Court of Justice is adequately summarized in the sections
on civil and criminal dockets which follow. Only a few items
deserve highlighting in terms of the combined civil and crimi-nal
dockets. Total filings increased by only 2.5% while disposi-tions
increased by 14.7%, resulting in an 8.3% reduction in the
number of cases pending. The number of days of court sche-duled
increased by 4.7% and was closely followed by an increase
of 3.2% in the number of days of court actually held. For all
100 counties the percentage of court utilization remained about
the same, dropping by less than 1%. Significantly, the total
number of cases pending is the lowest since court reorganiza-tion
began in 1966.
It is especially encouraging to note that the pending ratio
for the criminal division dropped from 50.9 in 1971 to 40.5
this year, and that the ratio for the civil division dropped from
153.1 to 131.3. Extrapolating these ratios, it may be estimated
that it would require less than 5 months for the court to dis-pose
of its pending criminal cases and about one year and 4
months to dispose of its civil cases. The improvement over last
year is noteworthy, but these time-frames indicate that further
improvement is desirable.

SUPERIOR COURT CIVIL DOCKETS
Court reorganization has had and continues to have a sig-nificant
effect on the civil dockets of the superior court, the tra-ditional
forum for the trial of civil litigation involving large
claims. In each of the past six years, dispositions have exceeded
filings and the number of cases pending at the end of the year
has shown a decrease from the prior year. These statistics are
in sharp contrast to the trend which existed prior to court re-organization.
In those years, filings continually exceeded dis-positions
and the number of pending cases was increasing an-nually.
This improvement would be more apparent than real if
it has resulted from a simple transfer of the superior court's
docket problems to the civil division of the district court. This
however, does not appear to be the case for the district court ap-pears
to be better able to keep abreast of its civil dockets than
does the superior court.
Nevertheless, it must be noted that the above is a compara-tive
analysis. Although the year to year improvement is un-deniable,
such an analysis cannot obscure the fact that there is
room for much improvement in the disposition of superior court
civil cases. As would be expected, the pending ratio for this divi-sion
is higher than for any other division of the General Court
of Justice. The 1972 ratio is 131.3, indicating that it would re-quire
approximately one year and four months for the superior
court to dispose of all cases pending. At a minimum, the num-ber
of cases pending at the end of the year should be reduced to
an amount not in excess of the year's dispositions.
As compared to 1971, civil filings increased by less than
1.0%, dispositions decreased by 5.9%, and the number pending
at the end of the year decreased by 5.8%. The number of days
of court scheduled decreased by 4.2% and the number of days
actually held decreased by 8.2%. The percentage of court utili-zation
decreased from 76.4% to 73.3% and the rate of disposi-tion
dropped from 116.7% to 108.8%.
Among all 100 counties, the 10 counties with the largest
civil dockets accounted for 48.1% of the total pending cases.
Seventy-two counties had 100 or fewer cases pending and only
4 counties had more than 500 pending.

SUPERIOR COURT CRIMINAL DOCKETS
Nineteen hundred and seventy-two was a very good year
for the criminal division of the superior court. Every available
measure indicates marked improvement over performance of the
last few years. Filings increased by only 2.8%, whereas in each
of the last three years they had increased by 10% or more. Dis-positions
increased significantly by 20.5%, whereas the highest
increase in recent years had been less than 10%. Moreover, the
number of cases pending at the end of the year decreased by
9.9% compared to increases of 32.3% in 1970 and 28.3% in
1971. The number of days of court scheduled increased by 10.7%
and the number of days held increased by 9.8%. The percentage
of court utilization remained about the same, decreasing by less
than 1%. The rate of disposition (the percentage of filings
which were disposed of) exceeded 100% for the first time since
1965. The rate of disposition for 1972 was 104.7%, up from
89.8% in 1970 and 89.3% in 1971. Finally, the pending ratio
dropped from 50.9 to 40.5.
What accounts for this marked improvement? Many fac-tors
are probably involved, but several deserve mention. The
small increase in the number of filings is an obvious factor, and
this was caused primarily by a reduction in the number of mis-demeanor
cases being appealed from the district court for trial
de novo in the superior court. The number of these cases ac-tually
dropped by 4.1% while felony filings within the original
jurisdiction of the superior court rose by 10.4%. Equally ob-vious
is the fact that 30 additional assistant district attorneys
authorized by the 1971 General Assembly were at work through-out
the year. Also, the increased number of days of court held
in 1972 undoubtedly contributed to the increased dispositions.
Less obviously, the publicity given to the mounting caseloads of
this division may have engendered a greater awareness of the
problem among court officials and members of the bar and af-fected
greater diligence in finding solutions.
The impact of district court appeals on superior court doc-kets
has been recognized for some time and has been a topic of
discussion at meetings of various court officials. The tables
which appear on page 30 indicate that the relationship between
the two divisions may be viewed in terms of the percentage of
criminal cases tried in the district court which are appealed to
the superior court and the percentage of total superior court
filings which are cases appealed from the district court for trial
de novo.
It is evident that any minor change in appeal rates from the
district court (a high volume court) will have significant im-pact
upon the superior court (a low volume court). Using the
1972 statistics as an indicator, it is possible to project the im-pact
upon the superior court of any increase in the number of
26
cases appealed from the district court for trial de novo. An in-crease
of 1% in the number of cases appealed from the district
court would add 3,782 cases to superior court criminal filings,
an increase of almost 10%. This ratio between an increase in
cases appealed from the district court and the consequent in-crease
in superior court filings is one to ten. Therefore, if cases
appealed from the district court increased by 5%, superior court
filings would increase by 50% ; if cases appealed from the dis-trict
court increased by 10%, the caseload of the superior court
would increase by 100%.
The above analysis reveals the delicate balance that must be
achieved if the system is to perform effectively. An examina-tion
of appeal statistics since the district court was established
is revealing and especially encouraging for the future. The sta-tistics
clearly demonstrate that the longer the district court is
in operation, the lower the rate of appeals and the smaller the
proportion of superior court filings which are appealed cases.
Apparently, after a period of adjustment and experience by
the courts, district attorneys and the defense bar, a balance is
reached and the appeal rate diminishes. For Group I counties,
the percentage of superior court filings which were appeals has
dropped from 57.4% (1970), to 52.1% (1971), to 48.6% (1972);
and the percent of district court cases which were appealed has
remained just below 5% for the same period. This trend is
aptly demonstrated by looking at the 1972 statistics in terms
of the number of years that the district court has been operat-ing
in the counties: for those 22 counties where the district
court has been in operation for six full years the appeal rate
from the district court is 4.5% and appeals are 44.6% of super-ior
court filings; for the 61 counties in the system for four
years the figures are 5.0% and 49.6% ; and for those 17 coun-ties
which entered the system in December of 1970, the figures
are 9.1% and 67.0%. It therefore seems reasonable to project
that the percentages for the counties that entered the system
in December of 1968 and 1970 will decrease to percentages com-parable
to those for the counties where the district court has
operated for more than six years.
The above analysis is based upon totals for groups of coun-ties,
but the percentages in fact vary widely from county to
county. In some counties the percentage of cases being appeal-ed
is in excess of 20% and misdemeanor cases constitute more
than 70% of superior court filings.
Among all 100 counties, the 10 counties with the largest cri-minal
dockets accounted for 41.7% of the total cases pending
at the end of the year. Fifty-one counties had 100 or fewer
cases pending at the end of the year, and only 7 counties had
more than 500 cases pending. In 1971, 11 counties had more
than 500 cases pending.
27
In the order named, Wake, Guilford, Mecklenburg, Forsyth
and Cumberland had the largest number of cases filed in 1972.
Among the counties that exceeded the statewide average for
filings, the following counties had the largest percentage in-creases
in filings between 1971 and 1972: Stanly (71.2%), Car-teret
(65.0%), Columbus (65.0%), Catawba (51.1%), and Vance
(45.3%).
Wake County disposed of the most cases in 1972, followed
in order by Mecklenburg, Guilford, Forsyth, and New Hanover.
Among the counties that exceeded the statewide average for dis-positions,
the following counties made the most significant in-creases
over 1971: Stanly (222.7%), Orange (210.4%), Bun-combe
(92.4%), Union (51.8%), and New Hanover (50.6%).
The highest number of jury trials, 326, was held in Wake
in 1972 ; Mecklenburg held 324, Guilford held 175, Durham held
167, and Cumberland held 155. As would be expected, Mecklen-burg
led the State in the number of days of criminal court held
(444), followed by Wake (367), Guilford (211), Buncombe (191),
and Cumberland (188).
The 1971 Annual Report utilized pending ratios as a baro-meter
of court performance for the first time. As already indi-cated,
the pending ratio for 1972 is 40.5, suggesting that it
would require about 5 months to dispose of all cases pending.
The pending ratio, of course, varies from county to county, and
it is useful to apply that test to each county. A new table ap-pears
at page 30 and it lists the 10 counties with the highest
pending ratios.

THE DISTRICT COURT DIVISION
The district court system has now been operational in all
100 counties for a full two year period. It has operated in 83
counties for 4 years and in 22 counties for 6 years. All of the
statistical measures continue to be encouraging about the per-formance
of this high-volume trial division. Although both civil
and criminal filings increased, there was a corresponding in-crease
in dispositions. The total of civil and criminal cases pend-ing
at the end of the year decreased (civil cases pending decreas-ed
by 9.4% while criminal cases pending increased by 2.6%).
The ratios between cases pending at the end of the year and dis-positions
for the year are especially encouraging. The ratio for
criminal cases is 8.5; the ratio for civil cases is 28.3. In other
words, it would require about one month for the district court to
dispose of its criminal docket and about three and one-half
months to dispose of its civil docket.
^^There was a significant reduction in the number of days of
court held in this division in 1972, primarily because of a change
in the definition of what constitutes a day of court. In fact, the
district court was probably in session about the same number of
days in 1972 as it was in 1971. The statewide statistics indicate
that 5,404% days of civil court and 10,852 1/2 days of criminal
court were held in 1972. Upon assignment by the Chief Justice,
district judges held 248 days of court in judicial districts other
than their own.
The tables relating to juvenile proceedings are found on
pages 65 and 73. There were fewer new cases opened (children
before the court for the first time) in 1972 than in 1971, the
number decreasing from 13,583 to 13,341 or 1.8%. The number
of adjudicatory hearings increased from 20,087 to 23,796 or
18.5%. The composition of the caseload remained about the
same: delinquency accounted for 61.3%, undisciplined for 21.0%,
dependency for 7.7%, and neglect for 10.0%. The bulk of delin-quency
charges were for misdemeanors (69.1%), 16.4% were
for felonies, 14.2% were for violations of probation and .3%
were for capital felonies. Almost one-half (46.1%) of undisci-plined
charges were for truancy.
DISTRICT COURT CIVIL DOCKETS
Civil filings increased by 9.5% but dispositions increased by
12.1%, allowing for a 9.4% reduction in the number of cases
pending at the end of the year. The rate of disposition was
103.0% (more cases were disposed of than were filed).
Among all 100 counties, the 10 counties with the largest
civil dockets accounted for 46.3% of the total civil cases pend-ing.
Fifty-eight counties had 300 or fewer cases pending at the
end of the year and only 7 counties had more than 1,000 pend-ing.
As stated above, the ratio of pending cases to the year's dis-
43
positions is 28.3, indicating that the docket could be disposed of
in about three and one-half months.
Of the 148,739 cases filed in all 100 counties in 1972, 63.9%
were small claims, 14.1% were domestic cases, and 22.0% were
regular civil actions in which a hearing before a district court
judge was requested. Of the 152,289 cases which were disposed
of, 20.9% were handled by a judge without a jury, a jury was
impaneled in 1.9% of the cases, magistrates disposed of 59.2%,
and the remaining 18.0% were disposed of by other means.
When the plaintiff so requests, claims for $300 or less are
subject to assignment to a magistrate. Magistrates continue to
dispose of almost all of these small claims. In 1972, magistrates
disposed of 95.6% of such claims.

DISTRICT COURT CRIMINAL DOCKETS
In the 83 counties where the district court has operated for
four years, filings increased by 6.4% over 1971, dispositions in-creased
5.2% over 1971, and the number of cases pending at the
end of the year increased by 2.6% as compared with 1971.
The data from all 100 counties indicates that filings have
exceeded one million cases (1,000,893) for the first time. Among
these counties, only 17 had more than 1,000 cases pending at the
end of the year and 45 counties had 300 or fewer pending. The
10 counties with the largest criminal dockets accounted for
52.6% of the total number of criminal cases pending. The rate
of disposition for all 100 counties was 99.8%.
From year to year, the percentage breakdown for the types
of cases handled and the manner of dispositions remains fairly
constant. In 1972, 64.3% (643,870) of all criminal cases filed
were for violations of the traffic laws. Other criminal offenses
made up the remaining 35.7% (357,023). Only 10.7% of the
cases disposed of were contested, requiring a full-fledged trial
before a district court judge. A judge or magistrate disposed of
27.2% upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, and 44.8% were
disposed of by a written appearance waiving trail and pleading
guilty before a magistrate or clerk. Preliminary hearings con-stituted
1.9% of the criminal docket and the remaining 15.4%
of total dispositions were terminated by other means.
Since mid-1971 the uniform traffic ticket and complaint
has been in use by all law enforcement officials ; the ticket con-tains
detailed instructions on the use of the waiver procedure.
In 1970, 63.0% of motor vehicle cases were disposed of by waiv-er;
in 1971, 65.7% and in 1972, 69.4%. This improvement is en-couraging,
but there are still a few counties where this proce-dure
is still not fully utilized ; greater use of the waiver in those
counties would tend to alleviate some courtroom congestion and
delay.
All statistical measures continue to indicate more than satis-factory
performance by the criminal district court. As already
indicated, the ratio of criminal cases pending at the end of the
year to dispositions for the year is 8.5. This ratio indicates that
it would require about one month for the court to dispose of its
criminal docket. This ratio for the majority of counties in fact
falls below 8.5. There are only two counties in the State with
ratios higher than 15.6; even in those counties it would require
only about three months to dispose of all criminal cases pending.

In some counties, the percent of cases disposed of exceeds one hundred percent
because cases pending on January 1, 1972 are not included in the "filed" column.
The figures in both the "filed" and "disposed of" columns are for the calendar
year 1972. Some of the cases filed in 1972 will not be disposed of until 1973 and
some of the cases disposed of in 1972 were filed in 1971. Assuming a fairly con-stant
rate of filing and disposition, the percentages are relatively accurate.
These two tables are combined for convenience of format; they are not otherwise
related.

In some counties, the percent of cases disposed of exceeds one hundred percent
because cases pending on January 1, 1972 are not included in the "filed" column.
The figures in both the "filed" and "disposed of" columns are for the calendar
year 1972. Some of the cases filed in 1972 will not be disposed of until 1973 and
some of the cases disposed of in 1972 were filed in 1971. Assuming a fairly con-stant
rate of filing and disposition, the percentages are relatively accurate.

FISCAL OPERATIONS
1971 - 72
The 1971-72 fiscal year is the first such period during
which each division of the General Court of Justice has been
