SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description:

This study will collect information from

Court Improvement Program (CIP) staff to (1) understand
data capacity and current use of performance measures and

(2) gather feedback from the performance measure pilot
process. This will be accomplished using two instruments:
JCAMP CIP Data Capacity Survey
The survey asks CIPs about their current capacity to
collect specific data elements from the following six
categories of measurement:

(1) Legal and judicial context

(e.g., court docketing), (2) Practices (e.g., attorney prepetition legal practice), (3) Short-term outcomes that
happen during hearings (e.g., discussion of key issues),
(4) Intermediate outcomes that happen during the case
(e.g., judicial continuity), (5) Long-term outcomes that
happen after case closure (e.g., child safety), and (6)
Cross-cutting themes (e.g., equity).

The survey asks about

capacity broadly and then specifically for a series of
subcategories.
JCAMP Pilot Site Debrief Form
The JCAMP Pilot Site Debrief Form is a survey developed to
be administered to CIP staff who have assisted with
piloting of the performance measures.

The survey asks

participants about the challenges and successes in
collecting pilot data for the measures, their confidence in
collecting the data going forward, and suggestions for
improving future efforts.
Respondents:

Respondents include CIP Administrators and

staff.
