Summary

The U.S. civil court system doesn’t get as much attention as the criminal courts, but it would be hard to overstate its importance. In 2018, for example, 47 percent of respondents to a Pew survey said they had dealt with the system in one way or another; from eviction proceedings, to debt collection, to child-support modifications.

Guest: Qudsiya Naqui, officer at the Pew Charitable Trust

Host: Lizzie O’Leary
