Editor’s Notes

Dear Reader,

This issue provides an opportunity for us to shift our perspective.

It offers two different takes on Online Dispute Resolution. It provides information about how courts responded to the complex issues of fire and civil unrest—while dealing with a pandemic. And we learn about an initiative related to challenges experienced by rural courts.

Our columns help us consider how to take care of ourselves and how best to manage among boundaries and priorities. We get to sit in on a conversation at the crossroads of ethics of safety, and a past-president of NACM even shares how getting involved in NACM works out to everyone’s benefit.

May the new year bring peace and joy to you and yours!

Charlene
