DC COURTS ANNOUNCE LAUNCH OFwww.DCCourtsNews.gov
WASHINGTON DC — The District of Columbia Courts
are proud to announce another addition to their online presence: a new website
with news stories relating to court services, ceremonies, events and
initiatives. The launch of DCCourtsNews.gov (www.dccourtsnews.gov)
is part of the Courts’ effort to actively reach out to the public to enhance
public understanding of the judicial branch.
DCCourtsNews.gov will be in an e-zine format,
with news stories posted regularly, with links to photos and additional
information on the Courts’ main website. DCCourtsNews.gov features an RSS feed,
a listing of recent ‘tweets’ posted by the DC Courts (for those who are not on
Twitter), as well as a subscription option to receive a bi-monthly email
newsletter with stories from DCCourtsNews.gov.
“We are pleased to have another avenue for
getting the word out to DC residents about the various services, programs and
initiatives offered by the DC Courts. We take seriously our
responsibility to educate the public about the justice system and to earn the
public’s trust and confidence. DCCourtsNews.gov is another way for us to
communicate with the public and keep them aware of our activities,” said DC
Court of Appeals Chief Judge Eric T. Washington, chair of the Joint Committee
on Judicial Administration.
Other DC Courts’ online channels include the
court system’s main website, www.dccourts.gov, which provides a range of
information about the courts for the public, jurors, legal professionals and
the media. In addition, the DC Courts are also currently on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
