In 2005, the Judicial Council of California commissioned a landmark public trust and confidence assessment, Trust and Confidence in the California Courts, which identified perceptions of procedural fairness as the strongest predictor of whether members of the public approve of or have confidence in California’s courts (Rottman, 2005). In 2007, in response to these findings and those in a follow-up study involving in depth focus groups and interviews with court users, administrators, bench officers, and attorneys (Wooden and Doble, 2006), Chief Justice Ronald M. George launched a statewide initiative on procedural fairness, the first initiative of its kind in the nation. It is aimed at ensuring fair process, quality treatment of all court users, and higher public trust and confidence in California’s courts. In 2008, the California Administrative Office of the Court’s Executive Office Programs Division commissioned the Center for Court Innovation to conduct a thorough needs assessment and analysis of best practices in promoting procedural fairness among the state’s civil and traffic cases. This report describes findings from over 20 site visits and nearly 50 stakeholder interviews along with a document and website review.
