Multi-disciplinary statewide conference is devoted to meaningful physical, remote, and equal access to the justice system for those involved - voluntarily and involuntarily - with the court system. The conference will bring together 1,200 participants - including judges, local, state and tribal court leaders, attorneys, probation officers, social workers, family court professionals, court users, researchers, policy makers, volunteers, and court-related professionals from across California.
Sessions will address core legal issues and related social issues pertaining to juvenile law, family law, criminal law, probate guardianship and conservatorship, domestic violence, collaborative courts, tribal court-state court jurisdiction, veterans and military families, incarceration and reentry, mental health, education, immigration, trauma-informed practice, community engagement, and racial justice.
Emphasizing hope, humanity, and healthy families, the conference will focus on uniting court professionals and justice partners to build a better future for all Californians.
Sponsored by the Judicial Council's Center for Families, Children & the Courts, the conference is primarily funded by registration fees, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, foundations, and other agencies.
