Sumario:Collaborative partnerships between criminal justice agencies and universities offer several benefits for all involved. This article describes an interdisciplinary researcher-practitioner partnership between the Will County Problem-Solving Courts and the University of St. Francis’s Departments of Criminal & Social Justice and Social Work. Collaborators reflect on the mutually beneficial relationship that produced policy-informed research, new internships, and enriched classroom experiences. The collaboration also encountered challenges such as staff turnover, COVID-19, and access to data. Finally, we encourage others to engage in collaborative efforts and provide recommendations to inform future partnerships on building and sustaining researcher-practitioner collaborations.
