‘Innovative Guardianship Improvements’ focus of NCSC webinar Jan. 22


The National Center for State Courts will present a webinar on   “Innovative Guardianship Improvements - Enhancing Electronic Systems to Better Support Court Monitoring” Wednesday, January 22, at from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.

Guardianship cases present unique challenges for courts, particularly due to the ongoing oversight required long after the date of deposition. Many courts have found it difficult to use their electronic systems to assist with this oversight.  This webinar will spotlight four courts that are building or improving their guardianship monitoring systems.

Speaking at the webinar will be:

• Paul DeLosh, director, Judicial Services, Supreme Court of Virginia

• Barbara Holmes, architect and database administrator contractor, Nevada Administrative Office of Courts

• Dan Wallis, trial court administrator, 22nd Judicial Circuit, Illinois

• Amy Whitworth, director, Office of Elder Justice in the Courts, Pennsylvania Administrative Office of Courts

• Moderator Diane Robinson, principal court research associate, NCSC
