An annual virtual learning and collaboration opportunity for all Model Court Teams and juvenile dependency court partners.

In 2025, over 500 people attended this opportunity to strengthen bonds, acquire new knowledge, and apply changes to practice through experiential learning and focused reflection. 

The Model Court Summit is designed as a multidisciplinary, cross-system training. We encourage all model court team members and court and community partners (including ODHS, tribes, CRB, CASA, DOJ, defense attorneys, parent mentors, and community providers) involved in the child welfare system to attend.
