Stimulating Research Related to the Use and Functioning of the Civil Justice System

Myron Gutmann
National Science Foundation (NSF)
March 15, 2013
NSF's Law & Social Sciences program invites research on how people and organizations define legal claims, whether and how they mobilize the law on their behalf, and how legal institutions respond to questions about civil justice. Appropriate methods can include all of those used within the social and behavioral sciences. This is not a special competition or new program.

Measuring Justice: Difficult Questions

"The research imperative of refining ways to measure justice is important and necessary. Our work as lawyers improves the more we know about our effectiveness and the more our choices are evidence based. Nevertheless, quantifying the work of a lawyer is not easy.
  • "How do we ensure that any measure of justice captures outcomes for both trial-based advocacy and non-trial-based advocacy on behalf of clients, including negotiated outcomes?
  • "How do we quantify the role lawyers play in listening to our clients, explaining the systems in which they operate, and supporting them through often very difficult times in their lives?
  • "How do we ensure that any measure of justice includes a client’s sense of the process as well as the outcome?
  • "How do we make sure that what we measure does not suggest the limits of what is possible or desired?"
--Jane H. Aiken & Stephen Wizner
