About Center for Justice Innovation
The Center for Justice Innovation, formerly the Center for Court Innovation, is a New York nonprofit that describes itself as a community justice organization focused on safety and racial justice, working with communities, courts, and the people most affected. It was originally founded as a public/private partnership with the New York State Unified Court System and the Fund for the City of New York. Its activities combine running local operating programs, producing original research, and giving technical assistance to justice reformers in other jurisdictions. Its staff include attorneys, social workers, community organizers, and researchers.
Program areas named in the sources include community-based violence prevention, alternatives to incarceration, reentry initiatives, and court-based programs such as drug courts, domestic violence courts, and mental health courts. In New York, the organization reports programs in all five boroughs of New York City, and it also lists a program in Syracuse. Its headquarters address is 520 Eighth Avenue in New York City. The organization adopted its current name in 2023 to reflect work that extends beyond court-based programs.
