Specialized Courts: Not A Cure-All, Phylis Skloot Bamberger
Specialized Courts: Not A Cure-All, Phylis Skloot Bamberger
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article argues that while specialized courts, such as drug courts, dealing with defendants charged with crimes are of critical importance, sole or primary reliance on specialized courts are not sufficient. Instead, centralized resources should be available as necessary to all courts in a county or city in which alternatives to incarceration are possible, although not automatic because not all defendants are serviced by specialized court.
