CALIFORNIA JUDICIAL COUNCIL ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON RACIAL AND ETHNIC BIAS IN THE COURTS, FAIRNESS IN THE CALIFORNIA STATE COURTS.
The Advisory Committee on Racial and Ethnic Bias in the State Courts was appointed in 1991 by Chief Justice Malcolm Lucas.
The Committee conducted 13 days of public hearings to ascertain public perceptions of fairness in the judicial system. After the hearings, a survey was completed in order to verify the extent to which the concerns expressed in the public hearings were shared by the general public, attorneys, and court personnel. The survey of the general public consisted of a random sample of 1,338 people. Approximately 2,070 written questionnaires were mailed to all judicial officers and top administrators of the courts. Another 2,000 questionnaires were mailed to minority and non-minority attorneys.
