Community Outreach |
|
|
|
|
The
Kern County Community Outreach effort began in 1998 with a committee
chaired by the Honorable Roger D. Randall of the Superior Court. The strategic
plan requires the development of external and internal efforts that will focus
the limited resources of the Courts on meeting their designated mission. One
ongoing project of this committee, the docent (court volunteer) program, helps
to make the courts more user friendly.
