Join an exciting webinar on tribal-state Wellness Court collaboration presented by founders Judge John Smith, formerly of District Court of Cass County, Minnesota, and Judge Korey Wahwassuck, formerly of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Tribal Court. Their collaboration began in 2006 in response to high numbers of drunk driving fatalities. Together Judges Smith and Wahwassuck created the nation’s first Joint Jurisdictional Wellness Court. In the webinar, they will discuss the current Wellness Court Collaboration in Cass County and Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, review the Request for Proposals, and the application processes for eligible jurisdictions that want to create their own joint jurisdictional court collaboration.
The Bureau of Justice Assistance, through Oregon Health and Science University, has provided funding for a TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) Project that will allow for documentation of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe-Cass County Wellness Court, and training and technical assistance to one site that wishes to use Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe-Cass County as a model in creating its own joint jurisdictional court initiative. The TEAM is comprised of Judge Smith, Judge Wahwassuck, Jennifer Fahey, JD, Scott Warnick, JD, and Allison Leof, PhD; all of whom will be available for the webinar to answer questions.
Presenters: John Smith, Judge, Court of Appeals, State of Minnesota; Korey Wahwassuck, Judge, District Court, County of Itasca, Minnesota
