For several years the ABA Committee on State Justice Initiatives
(now merged into the Coalition for Justice) has surveyed state and
local bar associations and state supreme courts to update our
information clearinghouse. This year, the Committee included
selected metropolitan trial courts in the survey for the first time.
The Summary shows more than 1,000 areas of activity,
including 331 "justice
initiatives" that involve the public as well as the courts and
bar associations. Start with the Introduction, Executive
Summary, and Using
this Summary, then explore the
Contents box for specific topics. For the latest updates, contact
the resources listed for each of the traditional
justice improvement activities and state
summaries. See the 2001
Survey of Bar/Court Justice Improvement Activities Response
Tally for a chart tallying the responses for each category of
justice improvement activity as indicated by the bar associations
and courts that completed the survey.
