Abstract

This report documents the feasibility of statewide data collection for the National Judicial Reporting Program (NJRP). Drawing on information gathered from staff in 69 agencies in 29 states that contain over 87% of the U.S. population, candidate states in the best position to provide NJRP data for the entire state are identified. Also included is a detailed discussion of tradeoffs among data sources and their implications for NJRP sampling.
