N2  - Results from the pilot evaluation highlight the success of the judicial-led initiative since its launch in the Porirua District Court in March 2020.

The Young Adult List is a specialist court initiative that adjusts the traditional District Court process to allow for special characteristics that limit executive functioning (thinking, memory and focus) that are prevalent amongst young adults.

The new approach uses plain language in the courtroom, improved information for judges and brings local agencies and community services into the court. That means criminal court participants aged 18 to 25 years, their whānau and supporters can more easily understand what’s happening and better engage when they appear in court. (From the website).
