Question:
I
have noticed that there are two Workload Driver tabs available when I look at our
non-capital habeas cases in defenderData: the “trial” workload drivers, and the
“non-trial” workload drivers.
Can and should we be coding non-capital habeas cases with
workload drivers from both the trial, and the non-trial, workload driver tabs?
Answer:
Yes,
and yes.
Both Workload Driver tabs are available to non-trial cases, and those
non-trial cases should be coded with drivers from both tabs.
Non-trial cases (capital habeas, and non-capital habeas)
trigger specific “Chapter 18” codes in defenderData. For habeas cases that are
opened under those codes, dData has been programmed to allow access to both the
“trial” and the “non-trial” Workload Drivers. Applicable drivers from both of
those tabs should be coded to these habeas cases.
This effectively doubles the set of available drivers for
habeas cases, and will provide more information to explain resource
requirements for that category of cases.
We anticipate that the “non-trial” drivers will generally be
the best fit for habeas cases, and expect to see most of the drivers selected
there. The non-trial drivers, however, may also provide insight and should also be coded if applicable.
