Deadline: March 10, 2021
Emily LaGratta has partnered with the National Center for State Courts to offer two free training opportunities to court professionals and court teams for April 2021. These are trainings you can do on your own time, without travel or interrupting your court’s schedule. The only trick is that the deadline to apply for the chance to do these is Wednesday, March 10, 2021.
There are two ways to participate. In each, participants commit to engage with the project for a few minutes a day for four weeks. You’ll get some fresh ideas every day, and you’ll have the chance to try them out in your own courts and dockets.
Here are the options:
OPTION 1: Three courts will be selected to receive complimentary “teeny course” training, which will include daily interactive lessons delivered by email.
OPTION 2: Individuals and court teams are invited to prioritize one bit-sized fairness practice each day for a month. As Emily suggests, “It’s like an exercise challenge to stretch our fairness muscles, bit by bit.”
If you’re interested, go to lagratta.com/fairness-challenge for more information or to sign up. But act quickly: the deadline is Wednesday, March 10.–Steve Leben
