REVIEW OF THE FEASIBILITY OF ADDING THREE STAFF ATTORNEYS AVAILABLE THROUGH LEAA FUNDS TO SERVE AS RESEARCH AIDES TO JUSTICES OF THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT.

Abstract

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT WAS TWO-FOLD: TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE EFFECTIVE USE OF ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL AND TO EVALUATE THE COURT'S CURRENT USE OF PERSONNEL, PARTICULARLY THOSE INVOLVED IN THE COURT'S PILOT RESEARCH AND CASE SCREENING PROGRAM. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE THREE RESEARCH AIDES OPERATE AS A CENTRAL STAFF AND THAT THEY SERVE THE JUSTICES WITH A POOL ARRANGEMENT, AS IN A SECRETARIAL POOL. SUGGESTIONS WERE ALSO OFFERED FOR THEIR WORK ASSIGNMENTS. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)...KAP
