MADD LOUISIANA COURT MONITORING Bi-Annual Newsletter
How It Works MADD's Court Monitoring Program is one of the tools MADD uses to achieve the goal of no more victims from impaired driving crashes. The main goal of the Court Monitoring program is to observe, track and collect data on DWI cases and document any trends we might see in the process. MADD's Court Monitoring program has grown across the United States since it first started in 2015. The goals of the program are: 1) To compile pertinent information on how cases are handled in the courtroom. 2) To elicit public interest in the management and outcome of these cases. 3) To report relevant information gathered by the project to appropriate entities to increase efficiency of the judicial process.
