In 1985, state courts of last resort issued more decisions than in any year since 1950 in which they extended rights protections to individuals beyond those recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court by basing rights protections solely or independently upon state constitutional grounds. A survey of state high court judges and justices reported here indicates that there has been a nationwide increase in the number of individual rights cases litigated under state constitutions since 1980. Significant-to-moderate increases, however, were more likely to be reported by justices from the Northeast and West, from states having a moralistic political culture, andfrom courts whose members are appointed by the governor and/or legislature. State constitutional rights claims are more likely to be raised in criminal than noncriminal cases, though in both types of cases and in most states, state constitutional rights claims are raised less frequently than federal constitutional rights claims. Majorities of judges and justices favor the ideas of teaching state constitutional law in law schools and of testing for knowledge of state constitutional law on bar examinations.
