Court  and  Case  Flow  Management  is  a  simple  phrase  adopted  to  propagate  a  collection  of  principles  and  practices  associated  with  constituting,  supporting  and  managing  both  the  criminal  courts  and  those  cases  which  flow  through  them.

These  principles  and  practices  belong  to  everyone  associated  with  criminal  courts  and  cases,  but  more  so  to  the  judges,  magistrates,  prosecutors  and  administrative  practitioners  involved  at  the  heart  of  administering  justice  through  the  courts.

The  Practical  Guide  for  Court  and  Case  Flow  Management  for  South  African  Lower  Courts  was  compiled  by  magistrates  in  consultation  with  the  Department  of  Justice  and  Constitutional  Development,  and  the  National  prosecuting  Authority,  as  well  as  with  representatives  from  all the  other  institutions  involved  with  the  criminal  courts.

The  guidelines  seek  to  address  issues  pertinent  to  improving  and  maintaining  the  effective  and  efficient  operation  of  criminal  courts,  in  the  Lower  Court  jurisdiction  of  South  Africa,  in  the  interests  of  the  proper  administration  of  justice.
