Participants will examine the core components of an effective pretrial report—including validated risk assessment results, interview information, criminal history, and legal factors—and how each informs judicial decision making. The session also highlights why accurate, unbiased, and timely reports are critical for judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys, to promote public safety, court appearance, and equitable case outcomes. The training emphasizes transparency, due process, and the shared responsibility among courtroom stakeholders.
Great training, you can tell a lot of hard work went into it.
