Launched in 2018, the Center for Court Innovation’s 10-member advisory board provides guidance to our staff leadership.

Our annual report provides a snapshot of our ongoing efforts to promote reform and offer pathways out of the justice system.

Eighty percent of the cases in American criminal courts are misdemeanors. On any given day, more than 220,000 people are behind bars for a minor offense. That's too many.

Local and state jurisdictions can apply for no-cost assistance to implement a community justice project.

One of the things that makes the Center for Court Innovation unique is that we bridge the worlds of action and reflection.

Each episode of New Thinking takes on pressing issues on justice system reform, talking to the people documenting the problems and those working to solve them. The fall season includes Bruce Western, Kim Foxx, and more.

NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross looks at our efforts to reduce the use of unnecessary incarceration.

Our YouTube channel showcases a wide range of voices and new ideas.

One example of our efforts to reduce the negative impacts of justice-system involvement is Project Reset.

We host an international conference every two years dedicated to innovations in community justice. Our most recent event took place in Birmingham, Alabama in May 2018.
