The Judicial Outreach Liaison (JOL) program has been established as a part of a cooperative agreement between the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the American Bar Association Judicial Division (ABA), and participating states.  

The JOL functions as a point of contact between the state judiciary and national organizations like NHTSA and the National Judicial College (NJC) at the University of Nevada-Reno for the exchange of front-line information with the goal of improving traffic safety.  This is done by the JOL teaching, writing and consulting concerning the latest research and data addressing impaired driving in their State.  The JOL provides training, guidance and court case interpretations to the judiciary and members of the highway traffic safety community.
