A wide variety of problem-solving courts have been developed in the United States and are now being adopted in countries around the world. This book finds that while importers often see themselves as adapting the American courts to suit local conditions, they may actually be taking in more aspects of American law and culture than they realize.

(Paperback)

Examines not only how therapeutic strategies deviate from traditional judiciary proceedings, but also how these differences reflect changes afoot in American culture and conceptions of justice. This work analyzes a different type of courtroom drama in which the judge engages directly and regularly with the defendant-turned-client.
