Community Education

CCE places a high priority on informing the community about how the justice system works in the District of Columbia. The Council publishes plain-language guides and distributes them widely and without cost through the public libraries, justice system agencies, community organizations, and service providers. You can find all our guides in the Community Education Booklets section of the Digital Library of this website.
