The mission of the 8th Judicial District Competency Docket is targeted at improving the historically ineffective processes in cases with competency issues.  The Competency Docket is a streamlined process focused on helping defendants obtain expedited access to the services and support they need. 

The Competency Docket works through the needs of both the defendant and criminal justice system, the goal is to identify the most just and fair course in a reasonable amount of time.  To manage these cases cooperatively, efficiently, and tactfully the Competency Docket team meets weekly to look at the competency processes, support, and available resources.
