the State courts.
    The Institute is supervised by a Board of Directors consisting of 11

administrator, and four members of the public, of whom no more than two 
can be of the same political party.
    The goals of the Institute are to fulfill the following duties:
    --direct a national program of assistance to ensure that all U.S. 
citizens have ready access to a fair and effective judicial system;
    --foster coordination and cooperation with the Federal Judiciary;

    --serve as a clearinghouse and information center for the 
dissemination of information regarding State judicial systems; and
    --encourage education for judges and support personnel of State 
court systems.
    To accomplish these broad objectives, the Institute is authorized to 
provide funds, through grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts, to 
State courts and organizations that can assist in the achievement of 
improving judicial administration of the State courts.
