As part of its effort to bolster Public support for the courts, the Am erican Judicature Society's State Court Resources Committee has commis sioned articles describing locally based court-community cooperative e fforts. The first article, describing New York's court watching progra m, appeared in the March-April 1997 issue. This article describes the role of volunteers in New Jersey's child placement review process.
