| "I was on official business to participate in a US Judicial Learning
Visit Program for Family Court Judges from Nov. 4 to 17, 2017. We
visited and looked at good approaches in Kapolei, Hawaii; Cook Country,
Chicago, Illinois; and Hennepin County, Minneapolis, Minnesota. We
looked at the Family Court Enhancement Program of Cook County and
Hennepin County. We also studied the one family, one judge approach,
family mediation, and trauma-informed judiciary. We will report back to
the Supreme Court of the Philippines our findings and recommend
innovations that would further improve the Philippines Family Courts
System. Photographed with Kathya Cibelle Dawe, another alumna of the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program at the UMN Law School." |
