Court Statistics Volume
The National Center for
State Courts recently published Examining the Work of State Courts, 2002, a
joint project of the Conference of State Court Administrators (COSCA) and
the National Center.
Examining the Work of
State Courts, 2002, provides a
comprehensive analysis of state trial and appellate courts' business in a non-technical fashion. Accurate, objective, and comparable data
across states provide a relative yardstick for states to
consider their performance, identify emerging trends, and measure the
possible impact of legislation. Without baseline data from each state,
many of the most important questions facing the state courts would go
unanswered. This volume facilitates a better understanding of the state
courts by making use of closely integrated text and graphics to describe
the work of state trial and appellate courts. COSCA believes it will
better inform local, state, and national discussions about the operation
of state courts.
Research found within Examining
the Work of State Courts, 2002, is the work of the Court Statistics Project, which is funded through the support of
the State Justice Institute and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Copies
can be purchased for $25 by e-mailing an order to ncsc.orders@aidcvt.com
