This workshop will be held January 23-24, 2019, at the National Advocacy Center in Columbia, South Carolina. Travel and lodging accommodations will be provided by the Office of Legal Education. In Fiscal Year 2010, the Department of Justice (Department) launched its Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) in direct response to concerns raised by tribal leaders regarding the Department's grant process and how it did not provide the flexibility tribes needed to address criminal justice and public safety needs in their communities. Through CTAS, federally-recognized tribes and tribal consortia were able, for the first time ever, to submit a single application for most of the Justice Department's tribal grant programs. The Department designed this comprehensive approach to save time and resources and to allow tribes and the Department to gain a better understanding of the tribes' overall public safety needs. In Fiscal Year 2018, the Department awarded 236 CTAS grants to 133 American Indian tribes, Alaska Native villages, tribal consortia and tribal designees. The grants provided more than $113 million to enhance law enforcement practices, and sustain crime prevention and intervention efforts in nine purpose areas including public safety and community policing, justice systems planning, alcohol and substance abuse, corrections and correctional alternatives, violence against women, juvenile justice, and tribal youth programs. This workshop is designed to provide previous and new CTAS applicants with tools and guidance that may assist with the tribe's efforts to access grant funding and other resources to improve their justice systems. Workshop sessions will be led by Department personnel and experienced technical assistance providers and will focus on topics such as: 1) strategic planning to support a strong program design; 2) writing a proposal; 3) grant writing tips; and 4) DOJ funding opportunities and training and technical assistance resources. Please complete and submit the nomination form at the following link for each of your nominees: https://survey.ole.justice.gov/snapwebhost/s.asp?k=154143339631 Nominations are due by November 23, 2018. The NICTI will review all nominations and will send an e-mail advising nominees of their selection on or about December 3, 2018. Selected nominees will also receive information on how to book travel and lodging. In order to ensure that our records are correct, please type in the required information when completing the nomination forms. Illegible and/or incomplete forms will not be considered. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our goal is to offer quality workshops that provide skill-building opportunities, increase professional competencies, and focus on implementing research into practice, while also encompassing the spirit of this year?s conference theme. Workshops will be 75 minutes in length and are to provide attendees with information, tools, and/or action items that attendees can take back to their respective treatment courts and use in their jurisdictions and communities. As research has emerged on problem solving courts, it has become apparent that while courts have different target populations, we recognize that the core standards apply to all treatment courts. However, we do recognize that each court?s target population may bring additional or specific training applicable to their population. In the spirit of this research we will no longer have separate tracks dedicated to specific types of courts. We have found that many of the topics presented are applicable to most of the courts. Therefore, we ask when you are submitting your proposal you designate which of the following populations your presentation will be applicable to- * Drug Court * DUI Court * Family Drug Courts * Juvenile/Young Adult Courts * Mental Health Court * Native American Healing to Wellness Courts * Veterans Court * Other Courts such as homeless court, accountability courts for Domestic Violence or any other populations not specified. We encourage workshops that help attendees? complete hours applicable to their licensure requirements for ethics and cultural competency (for example: CEU?s for counselors, social workers, CLE for lawyers, COJET for court and county personnel). When submitting your proposal, please ensure your presentation title, abstract and learning objectives highlights ethics and/or cultural competency, as these will be given first review. Submission Guidelines The conference title Voices for Justice represent the opportunities provided to program participant to learn to live a life of recovery. This is done through a holistic approach, using-evidenced based best practices. All program stakeholders must collaborate to develop, implement and sustain programs/services that allow for this transformation to occur. When submitting your workshop proposals, please include the following: * Workshop Title * Workshop Description (Abstract) * Learning Objectives * Presenter Information- Name(s), Title, Agency Address, E-mail and Phone Number * Primary Contact for the workshop * The audience that your presentation is applicable to If your proposal includes more than one presenter, only one presenter will receive a complementary conference registration; up to two additional presenters may attend the conference at a reduced registration fee (upon request) Registration All presenters must register for the conference.

Apparently, it's been mentioned that early in the life of the program, the prosecution office at the time wasn't filling petitions when participants did not comply with the program. I imagine that made it difficult to hold participants accountable for the actions or lack thereof. Currently, we work with participants post adjudication. I feel that working with participants who admit to the allegations in the petitions is a first step. Most of the time it takes a while for a parent to admit or realize that they are responsible for the situation they are in. Having the court order the recommendations from social services lays out a path that needs to be followed. When I meet with parents for an intake, we'll go over the court order and I explain how the program can help them comply with the order. A con, is that in all of our cases, the children are removed. Pre adjudication leaves the possibility that children can remain in the home while parents work on sobriety, is this a pro or con? In any situation removing children is a traumatic event, so if removal can be avoided than that is a good thing. Hope this helps, please feel free to contact me any time you have questions.

We are a Joint Jurisdiction Problem-Solving Court involving the local District Court and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Tribal Court. In the past we have operated at both a Pre-Plea / Pre-Sentence status and a Post-Conviction status. As of late, we have had some constitutional challenges to the Pre-Plea / Pre-Sentence operation, therefore we have been working with a majority of Post-Conviction cases. The pro of this approach tends to be a more constitutionally sound way of proceeding, yet the con is that the process is definitely slower. When we were operating at more of a Pre-Plea / Pre-Sentence enrollment, we were able to get participants (who were truly eager to get help) into treatment almost immediately (within 72 hours from arrest). Now the process is much more drawn out. I hope this information was helpful and please do not hesitate to contact this agent with further questions. Have a great day! Bryan E.

We are post-adjudication at Penobscot and have found it to work very well.?

That Order gives the Court the power to hold voluntary participants in contempt and impose the same sanctions as our post-adjudication participants. ? ???????????????

In both Penobscot and Hopi we have found that post-adjudication keeps the participants committed to the program.?

Prior to admission to the Wellness Court, The Participant, Prosecutor and Defense Counsel all sign a deferred disposition agreement. The agreement lists all charges and what the best case scenario will be for each single charge if an individual completes the program. It also lists the worst case scenario for each individual charge if someone fails to complete the program. So for instance someone might come in with an Operating under the influence and a Criminal mischief charge. The best case outcome for the OUI might be dismissal upon completion of the program and the best case for the criminal mischief might be 24 hours in jail, restitution and a fine. However, All sentencing is deferred until completion of the program. In doing so, we avoid the important issue Lauren raises about individuals detoxing in jail, or not getting treatment in jail. The individual gets treatment right away. As Lauren pointed out, we do not limit participation in Wellness Court to just those who have committed substance abuse related offenses. For instance, we had an individual who was stealing from his grandparents to buy his drugs. He was charged with theft and came into the Wellness Court on that charge alone. The substance abuse was the underlying cause for the problematic behavior. Good luck, and please feel free to call if we can ever help talk through an idea. Kind Regards, Eric Hon. Eric M.
