Protecting Programs
That Change Lives.
The court’s role extends beyond deciding cases. It also includes helping individuals address the underlying issues that bring them into the justice system while maintaining accountability and public safety.
As Judge, Mary Ellen plans to continue and strengthen specialized court programs that have made a positive difference throughout Trumbull County.
One of her priorities is maintaining the Women’s Therapeutic Docket, a program designed to help women struggling with addiction, mental health challenges, and trauma. Through treatment, supervision, and accountability, the program provides participants with an opportunity to rebuild their lives, strengthen their families, and become productive members of the community.
