Why Smart Justice Matters - A Seminar with Greg Berman - September 2018​


70 people attended to listen to Greg Berman, Director for Court Innovation, New York share his expertise in setting up a new approach to justice. The event which was organised by Community Justice Scotland was held in Lochardil House Hotel in Inverness and was introduced by their Chief Executive, Karyn McCluskey.

The winner of multiple national awards for innovation, the Red Hook Justice Center houses a courtroom in which a single judge hears cases that under ordinary circumstances would go to three different courts - Civil, Family, and Criminal. The tools at the judge's disposal include community restitution projects, short-term psycho-educational groups, and long-term treatment. Beyond the courtroom, the Justice Center offers an array of unconventional programmes that work to improve both public safety and trust in justice.
