Welcome Judge Anthony Capizzi as new Reclaiming Futures Judicial Faculty

I am very pleased to announce that the Honorable Anthony Capizzi, of Montgomery County Juvenile Court, Dayton, OH, will serve as Judicial Faculty for Reclaiming Futures! You might remember Judge Capizzi from our blog in late March. We published a story about the Judge getting snowed in during the Washington D.C. storms and how he used Skype to hold court in Ohio without interruption–a first for the court.

In addition to serving as the long-time judicial fellow at his site, Judge Capizzi is a nationally recognized leader in juvenile justice, a national juvenile drug court trainer/expert, a Reclaiming Futures judicial trainer, leader of the Reclaiming Futures spread initiative in Ohio, and presenter of Reclaiming Futures across the country. In Ohio, Judge Capizzi serves on the Board of Trustees of the Judicial College and has served as the initial Chair of the Ohio Judicial College Juvenile Law Curriculum Committee. Under his leadership over the last three years, they have completely revised/updated the juvenile judges training curriculum in Ohio. Judge Capizzi also serves as a Trustee of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges Association (NCJFCJ) and is active on several board committees.

Judge Capizzi is very excited about working with our judges to strengthen Reclaiming Futures in their communities. Please join us in welcoming Judge Capizzi to his new role!
