The Chief Justice's Task Force on ACEs-Informed Courts was created by Chief Justice Newby in 2021. Adverse childhood experiences and adverse community environments (ACEs) — such as maltreatment, poverty, family violence, racism and discrimination — can have extremely negative impacts on children and increase the likelihood that they will enter the criminal justice system and potentially alter the entire course of their lives.

The mission of the ACEs Task Force is to enable judicial branch stakeholders to understand the impact on children of exposure to ACEs, and to develop strategies for addressing those adverse consequences within our courts. Judge Corpening, who has worked with the ACEs Task Force since its creation, discusses its ongoing work in addressing juveniles and ACEs in juvenile courts.

This presentation assists attorneys with resources and strategies for representing ACEs-affected juveniles in our court system.
