1. COMMUNITY JUSTICE INITIATIVE
Presented by Isabel Anadon
Overview of the Community Courts Initiative grant from the Bureau of Justice
Administration (BJA). Dane applied to the Planning & Implementation program, and was
successfully awarded. The six principles of community courts are embedded into the
grant: 1) Enhanced information, 2) community engagement, 3) collaboration, 4)
individualized justice, 5) accountability, and 6) outcomes. The purpose is also to
address root causes of inequity. This is growth and expansion of initiatives, but will not
duplicate existing services. There are three stages of the grant: 1) planning, 2) pilot
implementation, and 3) full implementation. The planning period will be six months at
the beginning of the grant, and community engagement will be particularly critical at this
stage. The Board is in the process of accepting the grant, which involves technical
action from the County Board.
