Community Outreach

Welcome to the Superior Court Community-Focused Court Planning information page. Here you will find out about our outreach programs and our ongoing efforts to seek out and include community interests and concerns in our planning process. In our county, as in the rest of the state, community-focused court planning is an ongoing exercise. The initial Long-Range Strategic Plan required by the Judicial Council is just the beginning of a work in perpetual progress. Our local planning team and the court are committed to making the process work now and in the future for the betterment of our local justice system and for the benefit of the community we serve.
