Summary
"The COVID-19 pandemic changed the work practices of nearly every industry around the globe, forcing institutions to quickly adapt to the evolving public health emergency. The state court systems in the United States-from trial courts all the way up the hierarchy to state supreme courts-were no exception. In response to the crisis, they were forced to make dramatic changes to the way they processed cases. The alterations ranged from selecting which types of cases should be prioritized (e.g., petitions for emergency protective orders) or delayed (e.g., small claims) to choices about which standards for filing documents (e.g., via email as opposed to paper) and appearing at hearings (e.g., via video or phone without special permission) could be relaxed. Decisions like these challenge prevailing explanations of how power manifests and process operates in state judiciaries. Informed by an extensive data collection effort-encompassing administrative orders disseminated across state court hierarchies, as well as insights from nearly sixty interviews with elite court actors who participated in constructing and implementing them during the pandemic-Courts Unmasked uses the COVID-19 pandemic as the vehicle for exposing and unpacking the realities of power and process in state civil courts and what this might mean for the future of civil justice reform"-- Provided by publisher.
