Webinar examines work of CCJ/COSCA 2.0 Task Force

The National Center for State Courts will present a webinar on   “The Work of the CCJ/COSCA Fines, Fees, and Pretrial Practices 2.0 Task Force” Thursday, December 12, at from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.

The 2.0 Task Force builds on the work of a previous Conference of Chief Justices (CCJ) and Conference of State Court Administrators (COSCA) Task Force, established in 2016. Throughout 2024, it produced resources discussing the current landscape of state reforms to legal financial obligations and pretrial practices, developed case studies to highlight innovative and successful approaches, and created educational materials for courts.

This webinar will highlight tools and resources developed by the 2.0 Task Force and feature a conversation between the 2.0 Task Force members and members of the original Task Force.

Speaking at the webinar will be:

• Chief Justice Nathan Hecht, Texas Supreme Court

• Chief Justice Matthew Fader, Maryland Supreme Court

• Gayle Lafferty, state court administrator, Delaware Judicial Branch

• Moderator Laurie Givens, vice-president, Court Consulting Services, National Center for State Courts
