BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS TO ACCESS CIVIL JUSTICE DATA IN MARYLAND.

Data Hub

The lack of civil justice data is a barrier to civil justice for all. Facts and figures related to the civil justice system are hard to come by and not easily accessible in a way that allows for visualization, data analysis or data-informed policy making. A2JC confronted this problem by creating first-of-their-kind data tools that corral, visualize and analyze information from different parts of the civil justice system to reveal insights and trends. 

The Data Hub promotes the importance of data collection and analysis; houses tools and dashboards; and describes advocacy efforts and policy positions that push for transparency and access to more civil justice data.
