Summary:

"On January 24, 2008, the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure requested that GAO examine courthouse planning and construction ... In addition, the Committee tasked GAO with reviewing the Federal Judicial Center's (FJC) empirical study of courtroom use to determine the level of courtroom sharing supported by the FJC's data. The purpose of today's hearing is to examine the initial findings of the GAO draft report [Better planning, oversight, and courtroom sharing needed to address future costs] and give the Judiciary and GSA the opportunity to respond to the findings in the GAO draft report."--P. vii.
