Ena od (dveh) prednostnih nalog sodnega leta 2025 je sodna uprava. Predvsem v luči pričakovanih sprememb sodniške zakonodaje in uvedbe enovitega sodnika. Z njo je povezana tudi avtorjeva napoved pred časom, da bo, potem ko se bo uredil (izboljšal) plačni položaj sodnikov, pozornost namenil številkam (storilnosti sodnikov). Že ves čas se zavzema za merjenje produktivnosti in ekonomičnosti poslovanja sodišč, določitev kazalnikov in standardov kakovosti, merjenje kakovosti delovanja sodišč, določitev časovnih standardov, pripravo modela za merjenje delovne obremenjenosti sodišč (angl. workload measurement system) in uvedbo modela upravljanja prek rezultatov (angl. performance management). Te ukrepe naj bi spremljali tudi ustrezni ukrepi za zagotavljanje učinkovitega in hitrega reševanja zadev, saj mora biti sodna odločitev sprejeta v razumnem času. Posebno pozornost je treba nameniti delu sodnikov. Tudi ti morajo iskati ravnotežje med zagotavljanjem minimalnih standardov sodnega odločanja in pravočasnim reševanjem zadev (v razumnem roku). Naloga sodne uprave je namreč zagotavljanje storilnosti na ravni kolektiva ter prepoznavanje in obravnavanje odklonov oziroma posamičnih težav sodnikov, z iskanjem rešitev za premagovanje ovir pri učinkovitem izvajanju sodne oblasti.

One of the (two) priorities of the judicial year 2025 is judicial administration, particularly in view of the anticipated amendments to judicial legislation and the introduction of a single-judge concept. This priority is also linked to the author’s earlier announcement that, once judges’ salaries have been regulated (improved), he will turn his attention to the numbers—that is to judges’ performance. The author has consistently advocated measuring the productivity and economy of court operations; determining quality indicators and standards; measuring the quality of court work; setting time standards; preparing a court workload measurement system and introducing a performance-management model. These measures must be accompanied by appropriate steps to ensure efficient and prompt resolution of cases, as a court decision must be rendered within a reasonable time. Special attention should be paid to the work of judges. They, too, must strive to balance compliance with minimum standards of judicial decision-making against the need to resolve cases within a reasonable time. The task of court administration is to secure productivity at the collective level and to identify and address deviations or individual difficulties among judges by finding solutions to remove obstacles to the effective exercise of judicial authority.
