The Court is in the Community—and the conversation matters!
We recently completed our third of four Court in the Community forums this year, bringing judges and members of the community together for meaningful conversations about the justice system and the work of the Court.

When judges have the opportunity to meet directly with the people they serve, it creates something powerful: understanding, trust and connection. These conversations allow community members to ask questions, learn more about the role of a judge, and better understand how our courts impact their everyday lives.

We are proud to continue creating opportunities to bridge the gap between the Court and the community. We look forward to our fourth and final forum of the year!
