The Court Improvement Program (CIP) is a federally funded grant that supports family preservation, prevention, and services to families at risk. The grant is authorized by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (P.L. 103-66) and is available to all states. The grants have been made available to states in recognition of the overwhelming pressures on juvenile courts including rapidly escalating judicial caseloads, more difficult cases and the growing complexity of litigation itself. The purpose of CIP is to assess and improve the legal system involving abused and neglected children. In 1999, the Supreme Court of Wyoming applied for and was awarded CIP funds. The Wyoming Attorney General's Office administers the CIP. For more information about CIP, please contact:
