Court Executive Development Program Papers

The National Center for State Courts' Institute for Court Management runs an annual Court Executive Development Program (CEDP). It is designed to "develop and enhance the knowledge, skills, and abilities of court administrators and provide instruction in areas of functional responsibility associated with court administration." To complete the third phase of the program, each CEDP student is required to prepare a comprehensive research paper evaluating a key court function or proposed activity in his or her home jurisdiction. The papers relating to this topic are listed below. 
2010 Michael Williams.  Evaluating the Murray City Municipal Justice Courts Domestic Violence Court.   The paper reviews the strategy of the Murray City’s domestic violence court to promote victim safety and offender accountability to domestic violence and abuse in the Salk Lake Valley.

 

2008 Lauren Lazarus Sabatino.  Looking at Family Court-Involved Domestic Violence and Child Abuse Fatality Cases Through a Lens of Prevention.   A five year review of fatalities in court-involved families with domestic abuse problems.  It was concluded that domestic violence involved families are at a high risk of fatalities due to the problem of rage from separation and perceived betrayal.
