Of the nearly 60 Nebraskans who attended the 2019 National Association of Drug Court Professionals, one dozen were trial court judges who have assumed responsibility for the effectiveness of Nebraska problem-solving courts. Other attendees included Nebraska Problem-Solving Court Coordinators, prosecution and defense attorneys, therapists and problem-solving court supporters.

The conference, held in Maryland, is the premier symposium for dissemination of information to drug and problem-solving courts throughout the nation. Total conference attendees numbered over 5,300 this year.
