This
collaborative will enhance the use and coordination of resources and public
safety, and it will facilitate the development of policies and practices based
on evidence based, best practices in the Pima County Juvenile Justice System.
This
collaborative and ‘best practices’ approach has been previously utilized by the
Pima County Juvenile Court. In 1997, the Court became one of seven original
“Model Courts” as selected by the National Council of Juvenile & Family Court
Judges (NCJ&FCJ). The Model Court initiative of 1997 generated the legislative
reforms for child welfare cases that are now required in Arizona. The Court
maintains its ties to both the NCJ&FCJ and the Model Court process. Judge Rubin
serves as the Court’s Lead Model Court Judge and is the President-Elect of the
NCJ&FCJ.
The DMC/JDAI
Executive Committee is committed to providing critical analysis and evaluation
at every juncture in the justice continuum, consistent with best practices.
