Each year
(beginning in 1994) the National
Center for State Courts publishes a report now entitled
"Future Trends in
State Courts." The purpose of this
report is to support the strategic planning efforts in
the court community. Each publication contains several articles
written by NCSC staff and court experts from around the
country. Individual Future
Trends articles published since 2001 that
relate to this topic are listed to below.
