Problem-Solving Courts and the Psycholegal Error
>Download Full Essay (PDF file, 107 KB) It has been more than a decade since I began railing against the therapeutic jurisprudence movement in general and drug courts in particular. Much has changed in the world of therapeutic courts in that decade. Every two-stoplight town now has a drug court, and every three-stoplight one, a veterans court. Every town big enough to claim to be a community must have a community court. And every court everywhere dealing with low-level crimes must be called a “problem-solving court.” I guess that makes my felony court a “problem-creating court.” |
