Growing numbers of Americans are giving state courts a positive "job approval" rating. This year's 54% rating is up from 44% in 2021 and marks the fourth year of this positive trend.

"More than 95 percent of all cases are filed in state courts," said Marcia M. Meis, director of the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts.
