What is a Court PIO?
Court Public Information Officers (PIOs) serve as liaisons between the judiciary and the public and can be found at all levels of the justice system, including the trial courts, appellate courts, and administrative offices of the courts. A court communicator (PIO) is generally responsible for media and public relations, community outreach, education, and publications. A court communicator may also be involved in legislative and governmental affairs, internal communications, law related education, and supervisory management roles, such as overseeing a public information office. Many PIOs have a need to publicize self-help resources for an increasing number of self-represented litigants.
