The D.C. Courts are often covered by local media because of major criminal trials in the Superior Court, significant legal decisions handed down by the Court of Appeals, or other high-profile legal matters. But each and every day the Courts help hundreds of people resolve disputes, address grievances, and access needed services. We want to call your attention to recent articles about new court services, programs, and other initiatives of the D.C. Courts to serve the public in the Nation's Capital.

For questions, contact Leah H. Gurowitz, Director of Legislative, Intergovernmental and Public Affairs, at (202) 879-1700.
