“…The Squire state courts of last resort professionalization index have produced results demonstrating that it has strong predictive validity. It also is routinely entered as a control variable in studies where court professionalization is of secondary interest (e.g., Bosworth 2017; Goelzhauser and Cann 2014; Hughes 2020; Leonard 2016; Leonard and Ross 2014;Miller and Tuma 2020;Randazzo, Waterman, and Fix 2011;Yanus and Gray 2017). Updating the index allows scholars to continue to incorporate it in studies involving state courts.…”

The current version of the Squire state court of last resort professionalization index is regularly used in studies of state courts. We have updated the index for 2019, producing a second and more recent index. Given the relative stability between this index and its predecessor, it is unlikely that many findings will change. During the 15 years that lapsed between the first index and the more recent one, little changed in most states, while reforms in a few places substantially shifted the relative standing of their court of last resort. It seems unlikely that the nation will experience any sweeping reform movements impacting state courts of last resort across the board. The more likely scenario is the sort of idiosyncratic changes impacting a few courts that were witnessed over the last decade and a half. Thus, looking to the future, it may be prudent to update the index every 5–10 years to capture any notable alterations.
