The
Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System has a new study out called "
The Transparent Courthouse."
The institute is a creation of former Colorado Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Love Kourlis. It has a lofty goal of court reform, and is moving toward it with all deliberate speed (if you are familiar with that term). I get the impression that her position is that nothing in Colorado is in need of reform, and indeed, Colorado is a model of good practices.
She means well, though, and I encourage people to read her institute's reports. I gave her first report, "
Shared Expectations: Judicial Accountability in Context" high marks.
I downloaded the report tonight and gave it a quick once over. I am confident that after I read it thoroughly, I will be commenting on it.
Those of my readers with an interest in family law might look at the Institute's
future projects page.
