Publications
Center manuals, monographs, and research reports are described throughout this report. Most of the Center's publications are available in print and electronically on its sites on the courts' intranet (cwn.fjc.dcn) and on the Internet (www.fjc.gov). To save costs, some Center publications that were formerly distributed in print are now available on-line only, and other publications that were distributed widely throughout the judiciary are now distributed to targeted audiences. In 2004, the Center distributed almost 20,000 printed copies of its publications. By comparison, in 2003, it distributed more than 42,000 printed publications, and in 2002, almost 75,000.
