This session will share preliminary findings from a multi-state study of state court leadership perceptions on authorized justice workers. Encouraged by resolutions passed by both the ABA House of Delegates and the Conference of Chief Justices (CCJ)/Conference of State Court Administrators (COSCA) to study and explore community justice worker models in each state, this research project engages both the judiciary and court administrators in jurisdictions that have both already adopted justice worker reforms and states that have not.
