We gather and publish data and insights to advance stronger family court policy and practice to protect children and families.
We achieve this through independent courtroom observation. Using a standardized 176-point instrument, we translate courtroom activity into empirical data that supports institutional transparency and safer outcomes for families.
Scope of Observation
Our research focuses on procedural integrity and safety in cases involving:
• Custody and Visitation Disputes
• Domestic Violence and Coercive Control
• Child Protection and Dependency Proceedings
• Juvenile Proceedings
