The project
has established resource guidelines for courts to help them comply with
federal laws and additional aspirational principles.
In Georgia,
the Model Courts Project is a two-year, grant-funded project aimed at
developing model courts in the counties of Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett
and Clayton. The project, begun in January 2000, assessed each of these
court systems and selected the Fulton and Cobb County juvenile courts
to be lead courts.
In order
to increase its effectiveness, the Fulton County Juvenile Court is working
to improve interagency collaboration and communication, limit the number
of continuances granted, and help parties to better understand the system
and their rights.
