SUPREME COURT NEWS RELEASE

The New Mexico Supreme Court has published a new data dashboard for the public to get information about the Court’s performance measures that focus on case management.

“The Judiciary dashboard identifies what the Supreme Court has been doing throughout the year and demonstrates a transparent way to show our accountability to New Mexicans,” said Chief Justice David K. Thomson.  

The dashboard provides information about the number and types of cases opened, the number of cases closed, and the average number of days to resolve cases from the time they were initially filed.

The numbers.

·         528 Supreme Court cases were filed, reopened or reactivated

·         The Supreme Court cleared more cases than came in during 2025, earning a 111% clearance rate, which is the number of outgoing cases as a percentage of the number of incoming cases.

·         144 is the average number of days cases took from initial filing to resolution. 

·         581 Supreme Court Cases were closed or placed on inactive status.

The New Mexico Supreme Court Performance Measures Calendar Year 2025 dashboard contains hyperlinks that provide viewers with additional information, such as definitions of legal terms to help people understand the types of cases the state’s highest court manages.  Hovering a cursor over the dashboard’s charts and graphs will display text and data point values in a larger font.

The New Mexico Supreme Court Performance Measures dashboard is a collaborative project of the Supreme Court and New Mexico dataXchange, a data sharing network operated by the AOC’s Judicial Information Division to assist courts and other governmental agencies.

“The dashboard brings technology and data together to help courts operate efficiently and effectively to benefit the people of New Mexico, and provide information for the public to know about the work of their state courts,” said Deputy Chief Technology Officer Darla Goar.

“As we work collectively toward our performance measure goals, it is important that the public has clear and timely insight into how our courts are performing,” said Chief Justice Thomson. “As the court of last resort, the Supreme Court of New Mexico is leading by example by publishing its performance measure data first.”
