For more than two decades, the California workers' compensation courts have been criticized for being slow, expensive, and procedurally inconsistent. In response to these concerns, the Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation engaged the RAND Institute for Civil Justice to conduct a top-to-bottom review of the courts. The research team found that the courts' problems stem largely from severe understaffing, the failure to upgrade their management information system, and a lack of clear guidance and coordination in the governing rules and procedures. (This document is an Executive Summary of the full report on this study, Improving Dispute Resolution for California's Injured Workers, MR-1425-ICJ, 2003. This Executive Summary includes a CD that contains the text of the full report.)

Delay in the disposition of civil cases in the Los Angeles Superior Court is a severe problem. Litigants who want a jury trial must now typically wait five years from the time they file their cases for the trials to begin. Time to disposition is much longer in Los Angeles than in the typical urban court and much longer than the two-year time standard. Court judges and administrators have long recognized the delay problem and have been working hard to find ways to speed the disposition of civil cases. Despite their efforts, the delay problem has persisted and has worsened in recent years. This analysis explored the major possible explanations for the current long times to disposition in the Los Angeles Superior Court. The authors show that the causes of civil delay are multiple and complex, but largely result from three factors: the demand for court services exceeds the supply of judicial officers; the court could manage individual cases and court personnel more effectively; and litigants and their lawyers are, in some instances, delaying the disposition of cases.

Shari Seidman Diamond Scholars interested in psychology and law are fond of c1aiming origins for psycholegal research that date back four score and three years ago to Hugo von Munsterberg's On the Witness Stand, published in 1908. These early roots can mislead the casual observer about the history of psychology and law. Vigorous and sustained research in the field is a recent phenomenon. It is only 15 years since the first review of psy chology and law appeared in the Annual Review of Psychology (Tapp, 1976). The following year saw the first issue of Law and Human Behavior, the official publication of the American Psychology-Law Society and now the journal of the American Psychological Associ ation's Division of Psychology and Law. Few psychology departments offered even a single course in psychology and law before 1973, while by 1982 1/4 of psychology graduate programs had at least one course, and a number had begun to offer forensic minors and/or joint J. D. / Ph. D. programs (Freeman & Roesch, see Chapter 28). Yet this short period of less than 20 years has seen a dramatic level of activity. Its strengths and weaknesses, excitements and disappointments, are aII captured in the collection of chapters published in this first Handbook of Psychology and Law. In describing what we have learned ab out psychology and law, the works included here also reveal the questions we have yet to answer and thus offer a blueprint for activities in the next 20 years.
