Webinar: A Roadmap to Data Governance (Part 1)

January 9th, 2025

Courts, the public, and justice partners increasingly depend on ready access to accurate and timely data, which are necessary for public trust and confidence in the judiciary. As courts rely more heavily on data for case management, strategic planning, and improving court performance, we recognize that data are more than by-products of case processing.

This webinar explores data governance – that which creates the culture around data creation and use.  You will learn more about NCSC’s data governance policy guide and self-assessment tool to improve your courts’ data governance.

Moderators:

• Diane Robinson, Principal Court Research Associate, National Center for State Courts
• Sarah Gibson, Data Scientist, National Center for State Courts

Panelists:

• Jessica Roeser, Assistant Deputy State Court Administrator for Operations, Executive Services Division, Office of the State Court Administrator, Oregon Judicial Department
