Public feedback sought on court communications
Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Bridget M. McCormack is asking for the public to help the judiciary improve communications by completing a short survey at www.MISupremeCourtSurvey.com.
Survey results will inform development of communication tools that are more diverse, representative and inclusive of the people courts serve, she said.
In an effort to reach people of as many different backgrounds as possible, the survey is available in five languages besides English: Arabic, Chinese, French, German and Spanish.
This is the first time feedback has been solicited in a broad range of languages.
“Take 10 minutes to make a difference by taking the survey,” said McCormack. “Courts that are more connected with local communities are courts that are more trusted as institutions that are fair and independent and treat everyone with dignity and respect.
“Communications that are in tune with the public, easy to understand, and inclusive can help courts statewide be more engaged and accessible.”
