Survey: The State of State Courts: NCSC Public Opinion Surveys (NCSC 2014-2020)

Since 2014, the National Center for State Courts has commissioned the State of the State Courts in a (Post) Pandemic World survey to assess public trust and confidence in the courts. The 2020 survey focused on the willingness of registered voters to appear for jury service during the COVID-19 pandemic. The poll of 1,000 registered voters was conducted using a mixture of telephone interviews and online surveys. Respondents were contacted conducted between June 8-11, 2020. Findings are considered accurate within +/- 3 percent, 19 times out of 20. The survey in 2020 was developed by GBAO, with input from an advisory body of judges, court professionals and NCSC staff.
