The work of justice is more urgent than ever.
Public trust is fragile, access to justice remains uneven, and technology is reshaping courts. Yet democracy comes to life in state courts every day.
NCSC helps ensure justice is fair, equitable & efficient.
Can a system reliably tell which disposition belongs to which charge?
Criminal cases can involve multiple charges and outcomes, and those relationships need to stay intact as data moves between court systems and justice partners.

Data quality isn’t just about whether a field is populated. It’s about whether the connections between data remain clear.
NCSC helps courts strengthen data quality, reporting, and interoperability across the justice system.
➡️ Learn how NCSC and SEARCH are exploring these challenges and how the National Open Data Standards (NODS) can support more consistent criminal history reporting.

ODR isn’t just online court.
It gives litigants a digital space to manage a case and work toward resolution without necessarily stepping into a courtroom.
Depending on the case, ODR can let people access cases, communicate asynchronously, exchange documents, negotiate, get plain-language legal information, make payments, and turn agreements into court documents.
ODR isn’t about recreating the courtroom on a screen. It’s about rethinking dispute resolution around how people actually resolve disputes.
Learn 8 lessons for getting ODR right. ncsc.org/resources-courts/le…
