The State Profiles section of the CourTopics database identifies state-specific Web sites and resources related to a topic.  Information within State Profiles is organized both by state and by topic.  

Links to other NCSC state-oriented databases are located at the top of the State Profiles page.   Included here are links to Court Structure Charts, Court Statistics, the ADR Database, the Mass Tort Clearinghouse, the Pro Se Directory, and Racial Fairness Initiatives.  

 Links to State Profiles Documents are listed alphabetically by topic within the InfoCenter. InfoCenters are general categories in which specific information is organized by topics.  To see which topics are contained within an InfoCenter, place your mouse pointer over the name of the InfoCenter.  The list of topics will appear.

To access information about a particular topic:  From the Profiles page, click on the appropriate InfoCenter.  This  takes you to the portion of the Profiles page that contains links to the State Profile Documents for that Center.   A topic may have more than one State Profile Document associated with it.  Click on the desired topic to being up the State Profile Document.  Topic information within the State Profile Documents is organized by state.  Note: Clicking on a state within a State Profile Document will bring up the Profile for that state.  

To access information about a particular state: Select the state from the pull-down menu  on the right hand side of the index page labeled "States".  At the top of the State Profile page are state-specific links to the NCSC databases as well as links to the state's Judiciary Home Page, annual reports, and to the judicial selection section of the American Judicature Web site.   Below it are links to the InfoCenters for which there is information in CourTopics relating to the state.  Click on the appropriate InfoCenter. A list of topics, if any, will appear.  Click on the appropriate topic to bring up the information pertaining to the state and the topic.  If there is only one topic associated with an InfoCenter the program goes directly to the pertinent information.
