In 1983, District Court Judge David S. Admire and a citizen, Shirley Anderson, started the first DUI Victim Panel in Redmond, Washington. Judge Admire believed that the DUI offenders coming before him did not realize the seriousness of the possible consequences of drunk driving. Since that first DUI Victim Panel in 1983, this program has grown to be utilized by the courts in nearly all 50 states.
