or “Explains how a special law about sharing information doesn't apply to certain things in court”
You could also call this:

“The Chief Judge must share information about how to check on delayed court decisions and how many are taking too long.”

The Chief Judge must work with the Chief Justice to share information about reserved judgments. You can find out how to check on the status of a reserved judgment in your case. The Chief Judge will also regularly tell you how many judgments are taking longer than they should. They will also share any other useful information about reserved judgments. This helps you understand what’s happening with court decisions that haven’t been given yet.
