<br />ATTACHMENT "A" <br />EUGENE MUNICIPAL COURT - 2006 JUDICIAL EVALUATION <br /> <br />PART TWO: Your Observations on Major Issues for the Court - Present or Future: <br /> <br />Defense * You must allow attorneys to review court files -- of their own cases and any related cases. <br />recently was obstructed by court staff from seeing my own client's case file. To my <br />recollection, no other court in Oregon even tries to restrict attorneys' access to court files <br />which, by law, are public information. <br />Police * Unknown <br />Staff * I think the court is already trying to deal with issues, such as having a Mental Health Court <br />and changing some crimes to violations. I wonder if there's not a better way to deal with <br />homeless people instead of charging them with Violation of Park Rules and Criminal Trespass. <br />I don't have any suggestions, though... <br />* Lack of building space - jurors and courtroom <br />* Size and accessibility, and maintaing staff at a level to provide the kind of service the <br />community deserves and that we as a court staff want to provide. Improvement in all areas <br />come from a cohesive effort from all parties in order to maintain the rhythm and integrity of the <br />courtroom. <br />* 1) Space - Desperately need more courtrooms and jury space <br />2) Turnover of key adminstrators <br />3) Need to keep staffing level in perspective with police increases to keep system running <br />well. <br />4) New case types as state and county face budget cuts <br />5) Growing cost of much-needed jail space <br /> <br />Page 9 of 9 <br />
