WHAT IS ACT?

The Association of Court Trainers was formed in 1992 to increase the effectiveness of training in the courts by pooling resources and expertise.  The Southern California trial court Administrators Association endorsed its formation.

The Northern California Branch of A.C.T. was formed in 2002, with the encouragement of the parent organization, to include trainers and training coordinators from courts of the 48 northern California counties in a more active role in the association.
