Our Courts is a nationally recognized program that brings non-partisan informational programs to adult audiences to further public knowledge and understanding of the state and federal courts in Colorado. Our Courts began in 2007 as a joint activity of the Colorado Judicial Institute and the Colorado Bar Association. Consistent with its purpose, Our Courts' presentations and volunteer speakers take no position regarding any court case, legislation, ballot issue, or proposed change to the court system.
All of the videos were made to educate people about Colorado's merit selection system for state judges and this year's judicial retention elections, and encourage people to vote their entire ballot.
