GAO found the Superior Court made progress in planning the transition of its Family Division to a Family Court, but some challenges remain. The transition requires the timely completion of a series of interdependent plans to obtain and renovate physical space for the court and its functions. Adequate space may not be available to support the additional judges the Family Court needs. Furthermore, the development of the Integrated Justice Information System will be critical for the Family Court's operational effectiveness, its ability to evaluate its performance, and to meet the judicial goals mandated by the Family Court Act. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-660T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-660T.htm GAO-02-660T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-660T Testimony GAO-02-660T; D.C.
