Summary:

This briefing report reviews operations of the federal judiciary. GAO provides information on (1) the appropriations, expenditures, and functions of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts and Federal Judicial Center, including any substantial duplication in their functions and services; (2) the costs of Federal Judicial Center education and training programs, including the potential savings that could results from eliminating all such programs except for the training and the education of new district judges; (3) the annual number and cost of meetings of the Judicial Conference and its committees, circuit judicial conferences, and circuit judicial councils; and (4) the cost, by circuit, of any circuit task forces on gender, racial, and ethnic bias, and the process used to select any executive directors for the task forces. GAO also assesses the methodological soundness of circuit task force reports that were at least in final draft.
