RAND ICJ Research Agenda
The ICJ’s Research Centers reflects the range of civil justice issues in the U.S. and abroad. Most ICJ research falls under the first topic, improving civil justice. Other topics address more specific issues, some of which have emerged in the last few years, and are conducted within the ICJ’s several research centers.
