Seekers of justice routinely report that the United States Court System does not serve their needs.  Not only did those taxpayers find injustice and economic devastation to be the result of their endeavor to resolve problems, they found that their health was negatively impacted as well.  This suggests a public health problem emanating from using the legal system in the U.S.  For the following three reasons, we are conducting a survey to gather information to present to legislators, legal professionals and health professionals in order

to effect positive change to the American Justice System.

1. The Study Authors are concerned that decisions made regarding our justice system are not data-driven; rather it appears that they are politically and profit-driven.  This is a simple survey to gather data from a significant number of users of the justice system.
2. The Study Authors believe that illness created or exacerbated by the legal system is a preventable public health crisis.
3. The Study Authors have been unable to get current statistics and data pertaining to the effectiveness of the court/legal system as an affordable, realistic and helpful forum for citizens to resolve problems in a civilized manner.  We have requested data from the U.S. Department of Justice and all other authoritative sources known to us but could find no regulatory or other authority that collects and maintains such statistical data.
