CJCC forms pretrial compliance subcommittee and flags DOJ conference funding
Summary
The CJCC created a pretrial compliance subcommittee, with Attorney Bratz indicating capacity to lead, and noted DOJ grant funds may cover attendance at the National Pretrial Compliance Association conference.
The Washington County CJCC formed a pretrial compliance subcommittee and identified leadership and training resources to support its launch.
When the chair asked whether anyone could lead the pretrial compliance work group, Attorney Bratz said he had the capacity to do so; members moved and approved forming the subcommittee and asked staff to ensure a second CJCC member joins (bylaw requirement). The chair thanked Attorney Bratz for agreeing to chair the group.
Funding and training: Members noted that the CJCC’s current DOJ grant includes an allocation that could fund sending a staff member to the National Pretrial Compliance Association conference in Reno, Nevada. Staff cautioned the conference is held shortly before the planned SIM mapping event and that anyone attending would be committing significant time that week; staff said they would identify appropriate attendees and circulate details.
Why it matters: Pretrial compliance work is central to several of the CJCC’s strategic priorities. Early leadership and targeted training were presented as ways to accelerate subcommittee productivity and align local practice with national approaches.
Next steps: Attorney Bratz will shepherd initial formation; staff will identify who to send to the training if dates and attendees align with subcommittee membership and project timelines.
