Civil Court Data Initiative

A groundbreaking effort to leverage real-time civil court data to enhance the responsiveness of civil legal aid to the needs of the communities they serve.

Eviction Tracker

The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Eviction Tracker provides access to multi-year trend data on eviction filings for 1,250 counties and municipalities in 30 states and territories across the United States.

Why this Work Matters

The justice gap is huge. Low-income Americans receive inadequate legal help for 92% of their civil legal problems. The Civil Court Data Initiative provides valuable insights to help legal aid providers, policymakers and stakeholders evaluate and improve access to justice for all Americans.
