Trends in State Courts is an annual, peer-reviewed publication that highlights innovative practices in critical areas that are of interest to courts, and often serves as a guide for developing new initiatives and programs, and for informing and supporting policy decisions.

Trends in State Courts is the only publication of its kind and enjoys a wide circulation among the state court community.  It is distributed both in hard copy and electronically.

Submissions for the 2014 edition are now being accepted.

There are many judges (and a lot of American Judges Association members) who can help make this a better world by emailing abstracts of no more than 500 words to Deborah Smith at:  dsmith@ncsc.org.
