Data & Research Requests

CACJ is supportive of research on accountability courts and welcomes partnerships with research institutions and others whose work will help the agency fulfill its mission to promote and improve the quality, accessibility, and administration of accountability courts. However, not every research request furthers that goal, and research requests can involve a significant amount of staff time and resources.

Additionally, some research requests implicate privacy concerns, and CACJ is committed to protecting the privacy rights of accountability court participants. As a result, not every research request will be able to be fulfilled. CACJ's Data and Research Committee reviews all research requests and will provide an approval or denial. Data requests have the greatest likelihood of success when they clearly and concisely demonstrate how the request will further CACJ’s mission and the work of accountability courts. Applicants should also be sure to note any experience or familiarity they have with the work of accountability courts and a short statement of the purpose of the request.
