New poll suggests Americans want judiciary and other branches of government to work together

According to a May 8th poll by the National Center for State Courts, 9 in 10 Americans believe that the three branches of government should meet regularly to discuss issues in the justice system, with 74 percent of respondents favoring the mandating of such meetings. The survey, believed to be the first of its kind, was released at the National Bar Association summit on fair and impartial courts in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The report surveyed 1,200 American adults on justice issues and found more than two-thirds support the Supreme Court having the final say in deciding controversial issues. The report also found a wide majority of those polled are opposed to cutting court services and raising fees in response to budgetary concerns. A full version of the report can be found here.
