Model Court Summit

Model Court Summit 

December 6, 2024

We are excited to share that over 500 court partners and county model court teams united to attend this unique opportunity to strengthen their bonds, acquire new knowledge, and apply it through experiential learning and focused reflection. This year, the Summit was on how to use a compassion-based framework to support families and ourselves in juvenile dependency cases.

The Model Court Summit is designed as a multidisciplinary, cross-system training. JCIP encourages all model court team members and court and community partners (e.g. ODHS, tribes, CRB, CASA, DOJ, defense attorneys, parent mentors, and community providers) involved in the child welfare system to attend.
