Missouri state court administrator inducted into Warren E. Burger Society
| Advertisement |
Michael L. Buenger, Missouri's state court administrator, is one of the newest members of the Warren E. Burger Society.
The National Center for State Courts (NCSC) said the Burger Society honors individuals who have demonstrated "an exemplary commitment to improving the administration of justice through extraordinary contributions of service and support to the NCSC."
The NCSC, headquartered in Williamsburg, Va., is a non-profit court reform organization dedicated to improving the administration of justice, by providing leadership and service to the state courts.
Buenger's ongoing work with a group of Missouri general counsels, who meet with the state's judicial leaders to support fair and impartial courts, complements the NCSC's national efforts in this area.
The NCSC provides education, training and technology, management and research services to the nation's state courts.
It also is taking the lead on several key issues facing the justice system.
As one example, the group cites its establishment of a major civil justice initiative -- a multi-year project that is examining best practices in civil case management and how complex litigation procedures can be improved.
Other national initiatives being driven by the NCSC include judicial selection reform and increasing citizen participation in jury service.
Buenger completed his term on the NCSC's Board of Directors in July.
While on the board, he served "with distinction" as the vice-chair and chair of the board's finance committee.
With his encouragement, NCSC engaged major corporate sponsorship for the national Court Technology Conference in 2003.
Buenger and other honorees were inducted into the Burger Society on Oct. 28, at the NCSC's annual recognition luncheon in Washington, D.C.
The NCSC was founded in 1971 by the Conference of Chief Justices and by then-U.S. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger.
