Services
Divorce
Report
Most cities actively engage in long range planning efforts. However, their plans are incomplete because they fail to address the impact of divorce on our residents' social, economic, housing and other needs.
As an example, Palo Alto's strategic plan includes needs assessments in the area of safety services (ie.; police/fire protection), for youth (ie.; how many classrooms will we need), the aged (ie.; how many senior citizen units will we need built), the disabled (ie.; how can we make our street crossing zones safer), and in relation to the community's ethnic and racial makeup (ie.; what cultural services will we need).

Arbitration
Report
Arbitration is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). ADR is an alternative form of resolving legal matters. It is an effective and less expensive way of keeping parties out of court. Regular judges frequently have neither the time nor the patience to hear disputes over furniture and furnishings, jewelry, pots and pans and the like.
Private Judging
Report
Private judging is becoming more common as funding for courts is cut and courtrooms are closed. These budgetary actions are increasing the delays in having cases heard in court. Private Judges are more accessible than are regular judges. A Private Judge can resolve cases with less delay and expense than occurs through the court system.
