Abstract

AbstractThis article features a set of court performance measures, the “Judicial, Court and Attorney Measures of Performance” or “JCAMP,” with a focus on JCAMP's permanency measures. The JCAMP permanency metrics are discussed in relation to court and judicial practices and the judge's role in achieving permanency for children and families. How data from the permanency measures can inform understandings of what judges are doing to promote safe and timely permanency for children and families in child welfare cases is addressed. Connections between the JCAMP permanency measures and recommendations for judicial best practices are also highlighted.
