Juristocracy In The Trenches: Problem-Solving Judges And The Therapeutic Jurisprudence In Drug Treatment Courts And Unified Family Courts, Richard C. Boldt, Jana B. Singer
Richard C. Boldt
This article explores the role of judges on two types of “problem-solving courts”: drug treatment courts and unified family courts. It compares the behavior these “problem-solving” judges to more traditional models of judicial behavior and to activist judging at the appellate level. The authors conclude that the judges who serve on these problem-solving courts have largely repudiated the classical judicial virtues of restraint, disinterest and modesty in favor of a more activist and therapeutic stance. However, the causes and consequences of this role-shift are complex. In particular, the authors suggest that the proliferation of problem solving courts and judges is …
Review Essay: Excuse Theory Through A Liberal Lens, Richard Boldt
Review Essay: Excuse Theory Through A Liberal Lens, Richard Boldt
Richard C. Boldt
This essay reviews Excusing Crime, by Jeremy Horder, Reader in Criminal Law and Tutor in Law at Worcester College, Oxford. It describes Horder’s project, which is to build a complex taxonomy of criminal law excuse practices and to use that account of “why things are as they are” to argue, on the basis of his version of liberal theory, against “the restricted range” of excuses in the UK and elsewhere. By virtue of his appreciation that some, but not all, excuses contain justificatory elements, and given his insistence that pure claims of non-responsibility are not excuses, Horder has defined a …

Confidentiality Of Alcohol And Other Drug Abuse Treatment Information For Emergency Department And Trauma Center Patients, Richard Boldt
Confidentiality Of Alcohol And Other Drug Abuse Treatment Information For Emergency Department And Trauma Center Patients, Richard Boldt
Richard C. Boldt
he diagnosis and treatment of alcohol and other drug (AOD) use disorders has for the most part been confined to a narrow band of the U.S. heath-care system. Recently, some hospital emergency departments and, especially, trauma centers have taken the lead in seeking to integrate AOD diagnosis and treatment through the adoption of screening and brief intervention protocols. The available data suggest that the practice of providing screening and either brief interventions or referrals for more intensive AOD treatment can significantly reduce re-injury rates. Despite these encouraging statistics, many trauma centers and emergency departments still do not provide these services …

The "Tomahawk" And The "Healing Balm": Drug Treatment Courts In Theory And Practice, Richard Boldt
Richard C. Boldt
More than 2,000 drug courts now operate throughout the U. S. and in a number of other countries. Hundreds of other problem-solving courts derived in one way or another from drug courts are also in operation. The data seem to indicate that drug courts increase the retention rate of clients in treatment and, for those participants who complete the program, may lead to reduced rates of either re-arrest or re-conviction relative to control groups of substance misusing offenders processed through the traditional criminal system. There is, however, considerable variation in outcome associated with offender characteristics and local institutional practice. Consequently, …
