In October of 2002, Chief Justice Mullarkey established the Standing Committee on Family Issues pursuant to a recommendation by the Commission on Families in the Colorado Courts (see below). The initial charge of this standing committee was to implement the recommendations of the Commission on Families and to monitor and continue to improve the ways in which Colorado courts serve families. Justice Melissa Hart is the Supreme Court liaison to the Standing Committee on Family Issues.  The Committee is chaired by Judge Randall Arp.

The Standing Committee on Family Issues meets quarterly in January, April, July, and October. If you would like to submit a topic for the committee to consider adding to their agenda for any upcoming meetings, please e-mail Alexis Fredrickson at alexis.fredrickson@judicial.state.co.us.
