Collaborative Courts

Collaborative Courts

Collaborative Courts offer clients supportive services through a team-based approach involving the Court, Public Defender, Probation, Parole, County Behavioral Health, the County Substance Use Department, Family and Children's Services, and the District Attorney. The goal of these courts is to work with participants to increase their support networks, help interrupt unhealthy patterns, and move them closer to reaching their personal goals. We support Collaborative Courts by staffing these courts with trained defenders who are committed to working together with community partners to reach better outcomes for clients who are interested in taking advantage of supportive services as part of resolving their case.
