November 2014
This webinar on November 14, 2014 at 1:00pm ET is presented by the Coalition of Juvenile Justice (CJJ).
Every day, juvenile court judges bring together a range of family members, attorneys and advocates, service providers, and others to inform decisions in the best interest of youth and to preserve public safety. Judges in many ways are natural convenors in the juvenile justice system. CJJ recently released "Exercising Judicial Leadership to Reform the Care of Non-Delinquent Youth: A Convenor’s Action Guide for Developing a Multi-Stakeholder Process," a tool to support judges seeking to do that work and have that impact.
This webinar will focus on how judges can act as convenors and improve outcomes for non-delinquent youth in their communities. Presenters will offer concrete steps judicial leaders and other juvenile justice practitioners can take to convene a multi-stakeholder process and illustrate these actions in practice by sharing their experiences leveraging their roles on the bench to make a difference in the lives of youth and families in need.
