Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Chief Judge Magistrate Cassandra Kirk. Over her career, Judge Kirk spearheaded the creation of two accountability courts: Juvenile Drug Court and Misdemeanor Mental Health Court. Her mission with Magistrate Court is to increase accessibility, and Chief Magistrate Judge Cassandra Kirk created a Court that "Informs, Engages, and Empowers" our community. The Magistrate Court was recognized with a Case Clearance Excellence Award for a three-year 254% clearance average, and during COVID, her team cleared nearly 85% of backlog cases (over 170,000 patients from 2019-2021). Putting people first required substantial changes in how the Court functioned, and Judge Kirk strives to tackle each obstacle. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
