Grant Description
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is seeking a data collection agent to administer the 2009 State Court Organization (SCO). SCO is a data collection that focuses on the overall structure and framework of the nation’s trial and appellate courts. Prior iterations of SCO were conducted in 1980, 1987, 1993, 1998, and 2004. Similar to previous surveys, 2009 SCO will focus on various issues related to court administrative and organizational structure including sentencing, the use of juries, the governance of the judicial branch, appellate court structure and processes, and the overall structure of the nation’s state trial and appellate courts. All data collected will be accurate as of December 2009. Applicants are strongly encouraged to review previous BJS reports focusing on state court organization data available on the BJS website at www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs. BJS anticipates making one award for a 30-month period under this solicitation, with an award date on or after September 30, 2009.
