Family courts nationwide are facing increasing caseloads, limited resources, and a growing population of self-represented litigants. In response, courts are exploring new ways to triage cases earlier, reduce conflict, and connect families to the right services at the right time—without requiring major system overhauls.
This session will highlight a collaborative, court-led initiative that began with a single funded jurisdiction and was intentionally designed to scale. Led by the National Center for State Courts in partnership with Nevada and other participating courts, the project integrates structured intake, service triage, and data dashboards to support more effective family case management.
Panelists will share how one court’s initial investment enabled development and testing of tools that could later be made available to other jurisdictions at a significantly lower cost—creating a replicable model for court innovation. The session will present preliminary findings, early implementation lessons, and practical insights into governance, funding structures, and cross-jurisdiction collaboration.
Rather than focusing on technology alone, this discussion emphasizes process design, data-informed decision-making, and institutional partnerships that support access to justice while respecting local court practices. Attendees will leave with concrete takeaways on how courts can pilot, evaluate, and scale triage-based solutions responsibly and sustainably.
