Problem-Solving Courts training offered online

The Michigan Judicial Institute  will present “Fundamentals of Problem-Solving Courts” hosted by Problem-Solving Courts (PSC) online Tuesday and Wednesday, December 2-3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. both days via Zoom.

This training will focus on the fundamentals of a successful problem-solving court, such as screenings and assessments, the team approach, team meetings and review hearings, treatment, drug testing, behavioral responses, confidentiality, due process, data and evaluation, and a solid understanding of addiction and mental health.  

This online training is required for judges and coordinators of programs receiving first-year funding through any SCAO problem-solving court grant program, and new problem-solving court teams and team members are strongly encouraged to attend.  It is also recommended for more-experienced team members who want a refresher. 

Participants must attend both days to receive 5 MCJE credit hours (judicial practice). For registration information, contact PSC@courts.mi.gov.
