Real and perceived bias in the courts undermines every decision made by the judiciary and court officials. It is a serious threat to the integrity of our judicial system and undermines public confidence. We strongly support a national meeting that makes action a priority and • provides court teams with the tools they need to effect change on this critical issue. The National Judicial College is making every effort to identify how bias is manifested in judicial decision making and judicial conduct with the goal of sensitizing judges to the impact of such decisions or conduct and educating them on alternative, equitable approaches. We believe that the First National Conference on Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Courts will address the same issue and give us additional perspectives to incorporate in our judicial education curriculum. The College will be represented at the conference by Judge V. Robert Payant, President and Kathleen M. O'Leary, Program Attorney. Ms. O'Leary has developed our faculty training on race, ethnic and cultural issue in the courts. I regret a meeting of our Faculty Council conflicts with the Conference and I will not be able to attend. Congratulations on a well conceived conference. The National Judicial College is pleased to participate and fully supports the conference goals and objectives. truly yours, • Dean ·. 0 V> .,C"l . :I: 1"1'11"1'1 ~c zc: -II"'" V> 1"1'1 • ------ First National Conference on Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Courts March 2-5,1995 • Albuquerque Convention Center Albuquerque, New Mexico Conference Agenda THURSDAY, MARCH 2 2:00p.m. -6:30p.m. Conference Registration (Albuquerque Convention Center- Kiva Auditorium) 3:00p.m. -5:00p.m. Facilitator Meeting (Albuquerque Convention Center- Ruidoso Room) Facilitators and Reporters Only 6:00p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Conference Welcome (Albuquerque Convention Center- Ballroom C) A program of the evening's events will be provided. • FRIDAY, MARCH 3 7:15a.m.- 8:15a.m. Facilitator Meeting (Albuquerque Doubfetree Hotel- Pre-function Area) Facilitators and Reporters Only 8:00a.m.- 12:00 Noon Conference Registration (Albuquerque Convention Center- Kiva Auditorium) 8:30a.m.- 9:00a.m. Presentation of Colors (Albuquerque Convention Center - Kiva Auditorium) Highland High School Junior ROTC.

Numerous studies reveal a gap in the perceptions of fairness of the judicial system between the judges and those who deal with the system. One result of this disparity is distrust from the community (impairing the rule of law) and resistance from the judicial community to dealing with issues. This panel will examine the consequences of this disparity on the society and the system of justice. The participants will share methods and suggestions for dealing with bias and the perception of fairness in their courts and communities, and develop a wide range of suggestions for concrete actions to deal with these issues to be shared with the rest of the conference participants. This forum is designed for conference participants who are not members of any state team. Moderator Judge David Rothman, Superior Court Santa Monica, California Faculty Natsu S.

Parker Staff Associate, Information Service and John G. Richardson Research Analyst, Research Division National Center for State Courts In Summer 1993, the Information Service of the National Center for State Courts conducted a telephone survey of state court administrative offices; task force representatives, and state bar representatives. Respondents were asked to identify court (and bar) efforts related to racial and ethnic bias in the courts. Responses were obtained from 24 states. This information was compiled into the 1993 Survey of State Court Activity Related to Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Courts. The purpose of the survey was to determine state court activity regarding racial • and ethnic bias in the courts, including: state task force activity; legislative efforts related to racial and ethnic bias in the courts; efforts to increase minority representation on the bench and in the non-judicial workforce; judicial education programs addressing racial and ethnic bias in the courts; and, other relevant issues. In addition, respondents were asked to comment on the utility of a national conference on racial/ethnic bias in the courts. Many respondents indicated that informal efforts to address racial and ethnic bias were underway or research in related areas was under consideration; but no concrete studies or programs were currently in place. Several representatives indicated that no problem was perceived in their state or territory because minorities represented such a small proportion of the population, or that certain groups (such as Native Americans) had their own avenues for dispute resolution. Information from the 1993 Survey was compiled in partial fulfillment of the initial phase of the First National Conference on Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Courts, to assess the specific activities courts were sponsoring regarding racial and ethnic bias, • and to assist the Planning Committee in preparing the educational program for the conference. Although useful as a source of preliminary information,-the responses from the telephone survey were not sufficient for a detailed analysis of activities on racial and ethnic bias in the courts. In addition, a significant percentage .of the states did not respond to the survey. The 1994 Pre-Conference Survey on State Racial and Ethnic Bias Commissions, was designed to provide more detailed and descriptive information as well as present data for comparison and general discussion at the conference. The 1994 Pre Conference Survey, a mail-in questionnaire with follow-up telephone interviews, was designed to provide quantitative as well as qualitative data. The survey was mailed in November 1994 to all state court administrative offices, U.S. territories, and federal circuits. Responses were received from 47 states, two federal circuits, Puerto Rico, and the American Samoa. Three states, ldaho,1 lowa,2 and Wisconsin, did not respond to the survey. The enclosed, Summary of Commissions and Task Forces on Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Courts, is a preliminary overview of information on Task Forces and Commissions on Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Courts. The final report will consist of the Summary of Commissions and Task Forces on Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Courts, charts outlining the membership composition of the task forces and commissions, charts describing the organizational structure of the task forces and • commissions, a summary of task force and commission financing, and a summary of state court activity regarding racial and ethnic bias, including minority representation on the bench, minority representation in non-judicial court employee staffing, and other issues of bias that may arise in certain functions or operations. Even if their state court system did not have a formal commission or task force on racial/ethnic bias in the courts, respondents were asked to report any activities within their state that addressed these issues. The 1994 Pre-Conference Survey on State Racial and Ethnic Bias Commissions will promote the efforts of the task forces and commissions, thereby bringing national attention to the need for all state courts systems to confront issues regarding racial and ethnic bias in the courts. This information can also be used as a resource for other court systems considering establishing a task force or commission on racial and ethnic bias in the courts, to help exchange information and strategies. A draft of the report is available at the conference and the final version will be available from the Information Service in the Spring of 1995 . 1 Idaho has a Committee on Fairness and Equality in the Courts • 2 Iowa has a Task Force on Equaltty in the Courts Updated February 1995 Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Courts • Bibliography (Compiled by the Information Service of the National Center for State Courts) Most of these materials are available from the Information Service of the National Center for State Courts.
