The Race and Ethnic Fairness Initiative of the National Center for State Courts compiled this electronic database of the main findings and recommendations of the various commissions and task forces established by state judicial branches to investigate and improve racial and ethnic fairness in their courts. The database is a recognition of value of the individual reports that were produced and the collective accomplishments of the National Consortium on Racial and Ethnic Fairness. The data base also is one way in which the National Center for State Courts commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education.

Three options are available to access the findings and recommendations. Please click on one of the search options listed below. Also, please let us know if you encounter any difficulties in accessing the information you require or any inaccuracies. Write to us at research@ncsc.dni.us giving "Race and Ethnic Fairness" as the subject heading.
