The current study represents an initial effort to describe results of a performance measurement attempt that may suggest some challenges in developing a comprehensive PMS for courts. We have tried to assess the performance in two Italian courts focusing on three issues: efficiency measures (clearance rates, case turnover, and disposition time), culture assessment, and Information Systems (IS) success. Our findings provide some useful and interesting insight for researchers and practitioners.https://www.iacajournal.org/articles/88
