This workshop will contribute to analysis of how appellate court decisions contribute to changes in public policy. Most research concerning that issue has noted that courts are most likely to change public policy when they have other groups and powerful institutions allied with them. This project will bring multiple scholars together to consider state-level change, and allow an evaluation of how such change is implemented in a major complex policy field with multiple organizations that would resist change. It will be important to track how organizations mobilize for change, and how they respond to its potential, and whether and how politically powerful organizations mobilize for implementation. Furthermore, it will allow evaluation of policy change via the courts and potential diffusion across states. The project will link with literature in criminology as well as literature on courts and social change; in state courts, the most relevant literature has concerned school finance reform, making the project potentially broadly important in multiple subfields.The project will contribute to the training of scholars in law and social sciences. It will also inform policymakers concerning court decisions and public policy. The project will draw together scholars closely connected to public policymakers and scholars, therefore making the realization of potential broader impacts highly likely. The policy issue is extremely important to multiple states, so the policy impact is likely to be broad.

该研讨会将有助于分析上诉法院的裁决如何有助于公共政策的变化。 大多数关于这一问题的研究都指出，当法院与其他团体和强大的机构结盟时，法院最有可能改变公共政策。 该项目将汇集多位学者，考虑国家一级的变化，并允许这种变化是如何在一个主要的复杂的政策领域与多个组织，将抵制变化的实施进行评估。 必须跟踪各组织如何为变革动员起来，如何对变革的潜力作出反应，以及政治上强大的组织是否以及如何为执行工作动员起来。 此外，它还将允许通过法院评估政策变化，并可能在各州之间传播。该项目将与犯罪学文献以及法院和社会变革文献联系起来;在州法院，最相关的文献涉及学校财务改革，使该项目在多个分领域具有广泛的重要性，该项目将有助于培训法律和社会科学学者。 它还将向决策者提供有关法院判决和公共政策的信息。 该项目将汇集与公共决策者和学者关系密切的学者，因此极有可能实现潜在的更广泛影响。 政策问题对多个州都非常重要，因此政策影响可能是广泛的。
