20 Jud. Div. Rec. 1 (2016-2017)

handle is hein.aba/judrc0020 and id is 1 raw text is: 't is such an honor to serve as the Chair of the Judicial Division (JD) this year. I follow the lead of our Immediate Past Chair, Michael Bergmann, who r C. completed a highly successful term as Chair of the Division. I look forward to building on the foundation he established, as the Executive Council, and all of you, work with me to fulfill the mission of the JD. That r .mission is to improve the American judicial system and to encourage all members of the judiciary, lawyers and others who share a strong interest in this goal to work toward this common objective. My service as a judge occurred while I served on active duty with the United States Air Force. When I became actively involved in the Judicial Division in 1994, it was my hope that I could help to inform members of the ABA and members of the JD about the military justice system, the quality of the judi- cial training and experience of judges who serve in that system, and to learn as much as I could about the similarities and differences, if there were any, between our deployed and circuit military justice process and my colleagues in other courts throughout the U.S. and around the world. I have benefitted so greatly from my interaction with the judges and lawyers I have met in the more than two decades of my active involvement with the JD. The theme for this year's work in the JD is Global Justice at Home and Abroad. ttee e ts.We will be working to develop policy, programs, webinars, and to assist mem- bers of the Division with current and timely information to aid them in the fair and impartial administration of justice. Among the areas we will be focusing on during this year, we will examine the critical issue of Police-Community Rela- tions and Media Perceptions. We will also explore the developments involving implementation of the expanded jurisdiction in Tribal Courts following the reau- thorization of the Violence Against Women Act in 2013, as well as developments with respect to the Indian Child Welfare Act and other Tribal Court issues. We will be discussing alternatives for judges and lawyers to consider in ad- dressing individuals who come into the court system as the result of human trafficking, including discussion of innovative programs like the C.A.T.C.H. (Changing Attitudes to Change Habits) Courts. Nearly every week, we hear something in the news about terror trials. From Boston, which conducted the Tsarnaev trial tied to the Boston Marathon bomb- B ing, to trials being conducted at Guantanamo Bay, we will be looking at differ- cial Division ences, similarities and the policies that are applied in these differing processes.
