Successful civil diversion programs leverage existing legal, financial, and social service resources in a community to provide support to litigants who want to resolve their disputes outside of traditional litigation.
Learn how courts around the country are thinking creatively and holistically as they work to help litigants address both the immediate legal crisis and their underlying needs through strong collaborative partnerships with community service providers.
In this third session, panelists will discuss how courts have thoughtfully engaged with community partners to bolster their civil diversion programs and better meet the needs of their litigants in these high-volume dockets.
Panelists:
- Hon. Steve Duble, Justice of the Peace, Harris County JP 1-2, Houston, Texas
