Court Leader Advantage Podcasts – Ready to Reopen: What You Should Be Thinking About Now

Almost all states have reopened, yet the future is still uncertain as COVID cases continue to climb and a vaccine appears unlikely before 2021.  Courts are faced with an ever-growing array of challenges.  Keeping employees, judicial staffs, litigants, and attorneys safe while reopening courthouses.  Dealing with an ever-growing backlog of cases.  Restarting court operations that ground to a halt months ago.  Facing the possibility of enormous budget shortfalls.  Solutions are scarce and the need for innovation has never been greater.

This Week’s Panelists Are:

  • Chris Gaddis, Court Administrator for the Pierce County Superior Court (Tacoma, Washington).
  • Angie VanSchoick, Court Administrator for the Municipal Court (Breckenridge, Colorado).
  • Mark Weinberg, Court Administrator for the 7th Judicial Circuit (Daytona Beach, Florida).
