Judges, court administrators, and other state court leaders are increasingly leading change efforts within state and local court systems, with an eye toward building more public trust and confidence in the courts by improving how cases are triaged, how information is shared with litigants, and how dispositions are reached. How can these initatives be replicated, and what data do court leaders need in order to drive reform efforts forward? The Pew Charitable Trusts has worked with state bar foundations, community foundations, and regional funders to help strengthen public understanding of how court interventions affect individuals and communities, identify innovative solutions, and generate support for change.
