With support from the State Justice Institute, the Court Voices Project captured lessons from court staff and court users about how pilot courts have responded to the Covid-19 pandemic. Feedback gives voice to court stakeholders closest to the experience, while simultaneously informing and improving future court policies and practices.

PROJECT GOALS

  1. To assess the value of pandemic-response practices and policies from the perspectives of court users and court staff

  2. To improve trust and confidence in the courts
