North Carolina Court Watch Foundation
North Carolina Court Watch began in January of 2005 in an effort to organize litigants, local advocates and their families together as a cohesive voice for transparency and Court reform in the Judiciary. In Connection with the National Coalition For Family Justice and the North Carolina Coalition For Family Justice we are setting the standard for Court monitoring that will bring about the changes so desperately needed. Among the issues viewed as critically important yet lacking within the Court System are Accountability, Due Process, Equal Access to Justice and respect and adherence to Parental Rights for Protective Parents and their Children.The NCCWF will work with other like-minded advocacy groups to re-evaluate and bring about positive change in regard to how the courts and social services are responding to Domestic Violence and related behaviors, that affect families and our communities.
The Court System has to be reminded that the government is for the People and by the People, not the other way around. The granting of Judicial powers to Guardian ad Litems parent coordinators, social workers and other whom attach themselves to private cases is not in the best interest of families. In Many cases their negative impact often leads to cases being drug out for years without a resolution, that is devastating families and creating power and wealth for special interest groups at the expense of our loved ones.The North Carolina Court Watch Foundation's goals will no doubt, expand as we grow. We hope that as we grow you will join us in our efforts to bring about reform and transparency within the system which in turn will make our families stronger our communities safer, and our government accountable to the people it serves.
