Which of the following statements is true about event standards?

• A. They measure cases in the various stages of the system, not just at disposition
• B. They measure cases only at disposition
• C. They are only applied to processing of archival records
• D. They are the same as statutory time standards

Answer: (A)

Event standards track how a case moves through multiple points in the workflow, not just at the end when it’s disposed. This broader view lets a court see where delays occur—like filing, setting hearings, service, or other milestones—so performance can be managed throughout the process. They’re not limited to archival work and aren’t simply the same as legal deadlines or statutory time standards. So, measuring cases at various stages, rather than only at disposition, is the correct understanding.
