Completing a civil diversion program can take some time. Parties need enough time to work through a program and collaborate with program partners to achieve a resolution.
When designing civil diversion programs, courts must make strategic decisions about when and how they will create opportunities for litigants to engage with the diversion program and what the process will look like.
Civil diversion programs may focus on upstream interventions, seeking to resolve disputes before they become court cases, or downstream interventions that build resources directly into the court process.
Join our second session of the Civil Diversion webinar series to learn more about the range of civil diversion program models operating around the country and how each court has taken steps to build access points and time into the existing court process and encourage or incentivize participation in civil diversion programs.
