Global Rights for Women 2018 Annual Report 2 0 1 8 ANNUAL REPORT 1 OUR IMPACT BY THE NUMBERS Global Rights for Women works with leaders around the world to advance women and girls' human right to live free from violence through legal reform and institutional and social change. Thanks to your support, our work has included: international 62 partners 5 years of operation focused on 26 countries ending violence where we have worked to systemically against women address violence against women and girls including Australia, Georgia, Kosovo, and girls Latvia, Moldova, Morocco, and North Macedonia in 2018 Over 1,000 legal professionals trained 65 million women impacted by improved laws, policies, and practices Dear Friends, 2 In 2018, Global Rights for Women's mission came alive across the world! Country by country, GRW influenced law reform and systemic change to end violence against women and girls. GRW responded to a request from leaders in the Republic of Georgia to address a deadly gap in implementing the country's domestic violence law -- the need for law enforcement agencies to quickly identify situations most likely to result in serious harm to victims. In response, GRW developed a risk assessment tool that enables Georgian police to identify the most dangerous domestic violence cases. As a result, police can now intervene more quickly to prevent further injury and death to women who are most at risk. Very importantly, GRW worked closely with victims of domestic violence in developing the risk assessment tool, to make sure it addresses domestic violence as it is actually experienced by Georgian women. GRW and its Moldovan partners launched the country’s first court monitoring program, and issued a report evaluating the courts’ response to violence against women and girls. The launch of the report culminated a two- year project that included training for court monitors, observation in the Moldovan courts, and review of sexual violence, trafficking, and domestic violence cases. The report makes concrete recommendations, some of which are already being implemented -- including further training for judges and prosecutors which GRW will conduct in Chisinau, Moldova in July 2019. Australia’s commitment to ending extremely high levels of violence against women and girls brought GRW to Melbourne and Sydney in the spring of 2018. Seven GRW trainers from Minnesota's judiciary, law enforcement, prosecution, and probation agencies trained their Australian colleagues on how to enforce laws prohibiting violence against women and girls. Our team of volunteers and staff worked with the Minnesota Department of Health and the Minnesota International Center on an initiative to prevent female genital mutilation in Minnesota. GRW collaborated with community partners to research and develop recommendations for law enforcement and the legal community to ensure an effective response to this human rights abuse. GRW promoted global accountability to end violence by publishing Time for a Change: The Need for an International Treaty on Violence Against Women. GRW also influences global policy on violence against women and girls through our ongoing work with the United Nations. In 2018, this included monitoring internationally-accepted standards for the delivery of essential services to women and girls who are victims of domestic violence. With 193 member countries of the United Nations, this work dramatically increases GRW’s global impact. Our focus on system and legal reform to ensure women's and girls’ human right to be free from violence is a unique and world-changing mission. Thank you for your continued support!

  • Assessing the Changing Nature of Authority in the Web Age: the Citation Practices of Minnesota Supreme Court
    Assessing the Changing Nature of Authority in the Web Age: The Citation Practices of Minnesota Supreme Court Rebecca Sherman Submitted to Professor Penny A. Hazelton to fulfill course requirements for Current Issues in Law Librarianship, LIS 595, and to fulfill the graduation requirement of the Culminating Experience Project for MLIS University of Washington Information School Seattle, Washington May 13, 2013 I. INTRODUCTION It has been twenty years since researches gave up the right to patent the World Wide Web and made the source code publicly available.1 Since entering the public domain, the web has revolutionized the way people get information. Although electronic databases such as Westlaw and Lexis have been around since the 70s, they have been transformed to keep pace with developments on the web. Google searching has become so popular that electronic databases are now being redesigned to emulate Google.2 Consider the Google-like search boxes in WestlawNext and Lexis Advance. As a result of the web and increasingly sophisticated databases, attorneys today no longer need to sift through heaps of books at the library. They have virtual access to information anytime and anywhere. Law is a profession that is highly dependent on information. The medium through which information is conveyed undoubtedly has effects on the way the law is understood. Where legal information once existed in a self-contained domain, today it can be found online amidst a universe of information.3 This change of access has raised some concerns. Professor Ellie

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. • Saint Paul, MN 55155 Letter from the Chief Justice Dear fellow Minnesotans, I am pleased to present the 2012 Minnesota Judicial Branch Annual Report to the Community, which details the progress we have made on our ongoing efforts to improve the delivery of justice in our state. Over the past year we have continued to expand and improve our sharing of case information with our justice system partners, including beginning work on an updated system for timely sharing of court issued orders for protection with law enforcement agencies. By the end of 2012, the Judicial Branch was generating 1.4 million data exchanges per month with government agencies. The past year also saw the expansion of eFiling (electronic case initiation and updating) and eService. eFiling and eService for civil and family cases was made mandatory for attorneys and government agencies in district courts in Hennepin and Ramsey counties beginning September 1, 2012, and expanded on a voluntary basis to courts in Cass, Clay, Dakota, Faribault, Morrison and Washington counties. eFiling and eService is just one piece of our ambitious eCourtMN initiative, an effort to convert from paper to electronic court records. I am proud of the work our judges and employees did in 2012 to develop new and more effective ways to fulfill our mission of providing timely justice to the people of Minnesota, and I hope you find this report informative and useful. Sincerely, Lorie S.

  • 2016 Annual Report of the Minnesota Judicial Branch
    Report to the Community The 2016 Annual Report of the Minnesota Judicial Branch Minnesota Judicial Branch • 25 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. • Saint Paul, MN 1 Letter from the Chief Justice Dear fellow Minnesotans, On behalf of the judges and staff of the Minnesota Judicial Branch, I am pleased to present the 2016 Annual Report to the Community. This report highlights the efforts of the Minnesota Judicial Branch to improve and enhance the delivery of justice in our state. By constitutional imperative and statute, Minnesota’s courts must provide an open door for justice. The state’s Constitution promises every Minnesotan the right “to obtain justice freely…promptly and without delay.” This promise guides the work of the Minnesota Judicial Branch. The pages that follow will detail the many ways the Judicial Branch worked in 2016 to increase the efficiency of our courts, improve outcomes for court participants, and expand access to justice in Minnesota. These include: • Building on our successful transition to electronic court records, which has increased convenience for court users, and made it easier than ever before for the public to interact with their court; • Establishing more drug courts and other treatment court programs throughout the state, making this proven and effective criminal justice model available to more Minnesotans; • Expanding our nation-leading efforts to provide help and support to people who choose to represent themselves in court proceedings; • Providing long overdue increases to the per diem and mileage reimbursement paid to jurors; and • Launching the first statewide initiative aimed at improving the safety and security of our courthouses.
