Model Court Programs

Model Court Programs are initiatives designed to improve the legal process by testing new procedures or policies in a specific court setting before wider adoption. They aim to enhance efficiency, fairness, and access to justice by implementing innovative practices, such as alternative dispute resolution, specialized dockets, or technology use. These programs serve as pilot projects that gather data and feedback, helping courts assess effectiveness and make informed decisions about broader implementation. Essentially, they’re experimental frameworks that help the justice system evolve thoughtfully and strategically.
