## Court Input Needed for New Census of State Courts

What data can help the public and court community better understand how state courts are organized and structured? Is there confusion about funding or jurisdictional reach? Or maybe the misunderstandings stem from operational considerations?

The National Center for State Courts (NCSC) is kicking off a new, three-year Census of State Courts project.

Funded by a $584,762 grant award from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the census will build on NCSC’s **State Court Organization**data to provide a comprehensive list of U.S. courts that includes detailed information about staffing, operations, and jurisdictional reach.

NCSC will partner with the Conference of State Court Administrators (COSCA) and National Association for Court Management (NACM) to identify priorities for data collection that will enhance knowledge about state courts around the country. Data collected from the courts will be verified, cleaned, and analyzed before census results are made available to the public.

For more information, please visit: State Court Organization (ncsc.org)
