The Honorable Charles M. McGee, now retired from his third term in
the Washoe County District Court, is a recognized community leader
for his innovative ideas and outstanding commitment to children and
families throughout the State of Nevada. Judge McGee founded the
first family Drug Court in the United States in 1994 and continues to
preside over that Court, which has become a successful and replicated
model throughout the nation. Nevada's Drug Court has adjudicated
hundreds of cases involving drug addiction, domestic violence, and related
child abuse or neglect complaints, serving more than 800 children
in the State and reporting a 75 percent success rate, i.e., no further
reports to the child protection and law enforcement agencies.
Significantly, Judge McGee also is founding Director of the Children's
Cabinet, which serves abused and neglected children; co-founder and
champion of the Charles M. McGee Center for Adolescent Programs;
and co-founder of the Washoe County Court Appointed Special Advocate
Program. Without question, he has provided outstanding leadership
at both the local and national levels.
