SALEM — The Oregon Judicial Department is asking for public feedback with an eye to improving the experience of people who interact with the state circuit court system.

The department wants people who have recently had contact with the circuit court system to take an anonymous access and fairness survey, which is designed to identify ways the system can be improved and ensure that everyone has equal access to the courts.

Survey questions include: Did the court treat you with respect? Did the court make things easy to understand? Did the court make you feel safe?

Anyone who has interacted with the Oregon circuit court system is invited to participate, including people involved in lawsuits or criminal cases, their family members, witnesses, jurors and potential jurors, victims, attorneys and members of law enforcement.

The survey is available online at www.courts.oregon.gov/survey in English, Spanish, Russian, Traditional Chinese and Vietnamese. Paper surveys are available at local courthouses.
