Video on Demand
Telling stories is a big part of what we do at the Center for Court Innovation. We often find ourselves trying to communicate complicated justice reform ideas to skeptical audiences, whether they be funders, community groups, or system insiders. In recent years, video has become a larger and larger part of our communications effort. This reflects improvements in technology that have made it easier and cheaper to create and disseminate short films. It also reflects the talents of our communications director, Robert Wolf, who has become an adept filmmaker.
You can see the latest videos from the Center by checking out our YouTube channel. To give you just a taste of what you will find, here are the top 10 most viewed videos from our website over the past year:
