Court Community Outreach

Overview

The Court has formed a Community Outreach program. Organizations and groups interested in having a judicial officer or court administrator speak at a function or gathering may contact Court Administration with their requests. Judicial officers and court administrators are available to speak on the following topics:

• The Importance of Judicial Impartiality
• The Constitutional Role of the Judicial Branch
• Public Access to the Court
• Legal Assistance for Self Represented Litigants
• Therapeutic and Restorative Justice Courts in Marin
• Community Justice Planning
• Other topics to be determined by mutual consent of the Court and requester

Emails should be addressed to administration@marin.courts.ca.gov. Please provide the following information:

• Name of Organization;
• Purpose of Organization;
• Name of Contact;
• Contact's Telephone Number;
• Contact's Email Address;
• Organization's Website (if applicable);
• Date of Function;
• Time of Function;
• Location of Function;
• Length of Speech;

Please email requests at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the meeting. Then, the Court will confirm the engagement and finalize details of the presentation. Requests from Marin County-based organizations will be given priority. Neither the Court nor its judicial officers and administrators accept compensation or honoraria for these appearances as they are offered to the community as part of the Court's commitment to public access.

Please be advised that judicial officers are expressly prohibited by the Canons of Judicial Ethics from discussing specific cases or rulings.
