Abstract
This research represents an initial exploratory (pilot) effort on the feasibility and resources needed to determine the existence, nature and availability of standardized court data from state level administrative data systems in nine states. In support of the larger re-design of the National Judicial Report Program (NJRP) information about the availability and nature of state level judicial data was collected. The results shed initial light on the primary research questions as well as assess the feasibility and costs of extending these efforts to all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.
