Pioneers who dared to create a Justice and Treatment Partnership
26 years ago, a group of professionals gathered to plan a justice treatment partnership called a Drug Treatment Court. 26 years ago, this was revolutionary. These accomplished men and women take a retrospective look at all aspects of the process involved in planning and implementing this problem-solving court. In so doing, they share their memories of the judge who had called them to come together, the late Paul Bentley.
