Input sought for Michigan’s ‘One Court of Justice’ website
Getting users’ feedback and suggestions for Michigan’s “One Court of Justice” web site is the goal of an online survey posted at http://courts.michigan.gov/.

The brief survey asks participants what features they most often use on the web site and whether the information was easy to find. The survey also invites participants to suggest ways to improve the site.

The “One Court of Justice” web site includes information from the Michigan Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and State Court Administrative Office.

Other online features include a trial court directory, a news center, links to trial court web sites, and a self-help service for those who want to represent themselves in legal matters. The Michigan Supreme Court Learning Center offers educational resources, a virtual tour, and tour booking information through the web site.

The survey closes on August 8. Survey results will be used in a redesign of the web site.
