Previous research has highlighted issues affecting the criminal justice system. Such problems relate to police, sentencing, incarceration, pretrial detention, use of money bail, and speedy bail hearings, among others. However, specific challenges faced by courtroom actors have not received sufficient attention. This study takes a different approach by examining these challenges, their effects, and the roles criminal courtroom actors play in leading change. Utilizing qualitative methods, this research involves questionnaires and interviews with criminal court trial judges, prosecutors, and public defenders in Ohio and Michigan. It explores their challenges, the impact of these challenges, their leadership roles, and the effects of COVID-19. Findings reveal that prosecutors and public defenders face challenges related to public perceptions, while all three primary actors (prosecutors, public defenders, and judges) identified challenges associated with resources and personnel, process, and defendants/victims. The effects of the challenges of actors have far-reaching consequences on the defendants, victims, process, and court outcomes. Additionally, actors? perceived leadership roles largely align with their professional duties and responsibilities. The challenges noted by the actors in this study existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 on actors? leadership roles and challenges varies jurisdictionally. While COVID-19 influenced some actors? leadership roles, others believed it did not. However, actors unanimously believe that there were positive and negative effects of COVID-19. The findings suggest that addressing the challenges faced by courtroom actors can play a crucial role in improving outcomes and reducing inequalities in the criminal justice system. Addressing the challenges faced by courtroom actors will require concerted efforts from all parties involved, as well as support from both within and outside the courtroom workgroups. The methodological implications of this study suggest more qualitative studies are needed to study criminal courtroom actors and criminal courtroom workgroup dynamics. Other implications and recommendations for practice, leadership, and research are discussed.
