    The State Justice Institute awards grants to improve judicial
    administration in the State courts of the United States.

    The State Justice Institute was created by the State Justice Institute
    Act of 1984 (42 U.S.C. 10701) as a private, nonprofit corporation to
    further the development and improvement of judicial administration in
    the State courts.
        The Institute is supervised by a Board of Directors consisting of 11
    members appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the
    Senate. The Board is statutorily composed of six judges, a State court
    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.
