CJI's programs help us fulfill our mission to promote excellence, equity, impartiality, and public trust in Colorado’s courts.

And counter these alarming trends...

  • Less than half of Americans can name most of the rights protected under the First Amendment, and less than two-thirds can name the three branches of government. (Annenberg Civics Knowledge Survey, 2024)
  • Public trust in state courts has declined over the last decade, down to 63% in 2024 from 76% in 2018. (National Center for State Courts survey, 2024)
