According to the Connecticut Judicial Branch,
"The Center for Research & Public Policy (CRPP) is pleased to present the results of a Satisfaction Survey conducted among individuals involved with the Connecticut Court System for divorce, legal separation, child visitation and/or child custody cases.
The survey was designed to collect user input on satisfaction with court personnel, process, programs, and systems.
The research study included a comprehensive telephone survey. CRPP, working together with Court Officials, designed the survey instrument to be used when calling users of the Court System.
This report summarizes information collected from telephone surveys conducted December 10, 2014 – January 7, 2015."

Turns out everyone loves their private GAL. NOT!
ReplyDeleteThis is a "marketing survey" of a small sample of people. Nothing is said about how these people were selected, and is not a "study" with statistical significance on any real issue. This "marketing survey" does not increase transparency or accountability in order to address the real issues that matter...the people need reporting by the Family Courts and data collection for a real study to root out the causes for problems in system. A 'marketing survey'' is just propaganda. As an old woman in a Wendy's commercial used to say, where's the beef?
ReplyDeleteYes, well, the Judicial Branch probably hand picked everyone in this survey--if anyone was actually interviewed for this survey at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a crock. I mean really. If you want to know what is wrong with Family Court, just create a legitimate complaint process and I and a bunch of other parents will tell you. You don't need to survey anybody. The bottom line is the Judicial Branch doesn't have any interest in fixing anything or having the judges lose any of their authority to force parents to pay huge amounts of money to the parts of the divorce industry closest to the judges. Heck, if the Judicial Branch really cared, it could at least create legitimate grievance processes for lawyers and judges.
ReplyDeleteOMG let me get the crying towel out. It must be a conspiracy! Check with the Feds they may have been the ones who were surveyed.
ReplyDeleteDo we look like we are crying? You see, this is the problem with you folks in terms of how you define us, that you think we are crying. We are not crying, we are writing articles based upon fact exposing the wrong doing, we are confronting attorneys and judges with the law in legal proceedings and continuing on to appeal when attorneys and judges refuse to obey the law, we are approaching our legislators, and we are sharing with the public how the legal profession and the CT Judicial Branch have violated the public trust and have been involved in racketeering and fraud. We don't have time to cry because we are much too busy holding the wrongdoers to account.
DeleteNo one is crying. Just calling a spade. Common media for transmitting propaganda messages include news reports, government reports, junk science, etc. Further, satisfaction surveys are not quality indicators. Surveys do not stand up to academic scrutiny and will not be regarded as having much value as a contribution to knowledge. Survey research has inherent weakness and no real conclusions that matter to anyone can be drawn. It's a fact.
DeleteI think one flaw in this survey is that it was done during a very limited timeframe and really did not include many respondents.
DeleteYes, if the study population was limited to those in the system for three years to ten years for example, the survey would likely have a much different result. There are just so many variables with surveys depending on the sample and selection of questions, etc. That's why they need to be scrutinized. Following respondents in a longitudinal study may have had greater value than this survey standing alone. People have to be watchful as to how this is survey is applied and interpreted.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. To paraphrase Rep. Vargas, even if only [10%] of families are getting destroyed by the family court system, that's too many. Those 10% are 100% of what we're talking about. The Judicial Branch is never going to identify the population of families that have been destroyed by the corruption and cronyism and then survey them. Instead, the Judicial Branch will conduct surveys of a larger population that dilutes the problem with the objective of minimizing it.
DeleteRight. To go further with that thought and to quote Martin Luther King Jr. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Even one case where a door in the law exposes one person to an abuse is too many in my opinion. That door would need to be closed so it doesn't threaten others with that same situation.
DeleteHand picked? You have evidence of this to be true? Or is just another attempt at stirring the pot with lies? I must admit you are good at that as you can never get your facts straight.
ReplyDeletenever?
DeleteA common propaganda technique is name calling (disgruntled litigant/liar), and attaching a negative with a particular groups' point of view. It's deplorable conduct really.
ReplyDeleteThe CT Judicial Branch already has a history of doctoring its so called satisfaction surveys--take a look at the prior ADA so-called survey--plus the Branch's own statistics do not lie. Half of family court cases are disposed by trial. Out of those cases 35% go to appeal. This means that there are approximately 5 to 6,000 family court cases where there is serious dissatisfaction in the outcome. Case closed.
