We Want to Hear From You!

Many California court users say the courts could do better. Public confidence in the courts actually depends more on whether people perceived court procedures to be fair. If you have been to a California court recently for a court case, please take the following brief survey, which is voluntary and anonymous and the information obtained will be used to improve court services for you and other Californians.
