On Tuesday, February 21, 2023, Judge Stacy Ross joined Juvenile Court Operations Manager Jessica Byczek and Alternative Sanctions Coordinator Sharde O’Connor in holding RISE court at the FLITE Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Over the past several months, court was held in various locations. However, the FLITE Center remains one of the main locations where court is held as it continues to serve as a community outreach and resource center for survivors of human trafficking and other special populations.

RISE Court continues to serve as a therapeutic court program designed to address the unique needs of child-victims of human trafficking. Though the court program was held via zoom during the pandemic, it has returned to being held in person throughout Broward County.
