NCSC webinars encourage dialogue, positive changes in 2022

January 11, 2023 -- In 2022, there was no shortage of webinars streaming out from NCSC. From topics like how to manage a courthouse cyber-attack to tips on improving appearance rates, NCSC gathered the country’s leading court administration experts, justice system partners, academics, and others to share case studies, best practices, and trends with the court community.

While our team is busy planning the 2023 webinar calendar, we’d like to take a moment to highlight a few of our most popular sessions in 2022 and remind you that our library of webinars remains available free and on demand. If you haven’t seen these yet, consider:

Courageous Conversations: Who? What? How? Missouri attorney and diversity trainer Dana Tippin Cutler discussed topics including micro-aggressions, trigger words, and implicit bias. She also shared important tips on how to avoid missteps and discussed ways to make diversity, equity, and inclusion a way of life. This was one of many Blueprint for Racial Justice webinars that encouraged courts to examine systemic issues impacting racial justice in the United States.
