Oregon State courts are asking Oregonians for ideas about how to improve. Oregon Judicial Department, which runs the state circuit courts, says that it invites all Oregonians to an online community conversation to provide ideas and feedback about how to make the courts better.

The conversation is happening Monday, Oct. 30, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. OJD says that they especially want to hear from people who have used, interacted with, or helped someone else interact with the state courts in the past year.

Topics will include how to make courthouses safer and more welcoming, how to make it easier to do business with the courts, how to make jury duty better, and how the courts can do a better job talking to and listening to the community.

Spanish interpreters will be available. Those interested can request ADA accommodations via email. Find the link to join the conversations on the OJD Community Conversations website

OJD outlines the following topics that may be covered:

• Safe and Welcoming Courthouses How can we make our courthouses safer? How can we make you feel more welcome? How can we help you get what you need, in the language that’s best for you?
• Community Outreach How can we do a better job letting you know how to the courts work? How can we get ideas from you and others in the community?
• Doing Business With the CourtsHow can we make our forms better? (the things you fill out when you need something from the courts) How can we make our online/video hearings better? How can we help you manage court fines or fees?
• Jury Duty How can we make it easier for you to take part in jury duty? How can we make the courthouse experience better for jurors?
