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.

The Court system needs to find ways to keep pace.

 

Trends 2000 Tom Munsterman.  Multi-Lingual Juries.  This article discusses the increase in multilingual juries.  It focuses on New Mexico's state constitution and how it addresses the need for a standard language among jurists.
