Ninth Circuit – 2024 Survey of Practitioners

1. Introductory questions

Your responses will remain anonymous—really. (All responses are anonymous when submitted, and are accessible only by a small group of lawyer representatives; no identifying information will be provided to the Court.)

We have included comment boxes following many questions. They are not window dressing. We would appreciate details on issues you’ve seen or ideas for improvements.

Introductory questions. (The purpose of introductory questions is simply to show a statistical breakdown of respondents—i.e., what percentage engage in criminal versus civil practice, years of experience, etc.)
