Beyond The Adversarial Model: Bringing Collaborative Justice to Family and Civil Courts
 
This program will give an overview of the OC Collaborative Courts, both past and present, covering diversion, prop 36 and trends. Discussion will include what the roles of the parties are (prosecutor/defense counsel, program managers, social/health care workers), what the key differences are between pre-conviction and post-conviction programs as well as how diversion programs are different than what some call “traditional” post-plea collaborative courts. The presentation will also address Prop 36 - it’s relationship to the Collaborative Courts, what the current trends are, and what the future looks like for them.

This program is approved for 1.5 CLE Credit. Attendees must have participated in the program in its entirety to receive MCLE credit.
 
Cancellations must be received in writing via fax or email three (3) business days prior to meeting date to receive a refund.
