Collaborative Courts is a division of the Superior Court, which combines judicial
supervision with monitoring and rehabilitation to reduce recidivism by addressing issues
that contribute to criminal behavior. With the goal of improving public safety and client
outcomes, these courts also are known as problem-solving courts. Collaborative Courts
focuses on utilizing data-driven, evidence-based practices, comprehensive evaluation and
assessment plans to improve the quality of the lives of the people we serve.

“Our clients have worked diligently to complete this milestone, and we are pleased to share
in their accomplishment. Collaborative Court goals are to reduce substance use, recidivism,
and increase family reunification. Our San Joaquin County Collaborative Court believes
that when our clients find sobriety, everyone benefits. The benefits translate to the
communities, family members, reduced jail population numbers, and a reduction of
children in foster care. We are honored to celebrate and acknowledge their successes!”-
