Event standards are standards that measure the disposition of cases.

• A. True
• B. Not true
• C. Somewhat
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Understanding how these standards are used helps clarify the distinction. Event standards track the actions and milestones that occur as a case moves through the system—things like service of process, filings received, notices issued, and hearings scheduled. They are about the sequence and timing of events in the workflow. Disposition standards, by contrast, measure the outcome of the case—how it ends, such as dismissal, settlement, or a final judgment.

So the statement that event standards measure the disposition of cases mixes up process with outcome. That’s not correct because event standards focus on what happened (the events), while disposition standards focus on how the case concludes. A helpful contrast: an event standard might require a notice to be mailed within a certain timeframe; a disposition standard would record that the case was closed or resolved.
