And I especially point my fingers at the legal class in this country, with special emphasis on judges and prosecutors. And defense attorneys are all-too-eager to sell out their clients. Don’t kid yourselves; this happens every day court is in session.”

7. Reinventing Justice: The American Drug Court Movement, James L. Nolan, Jr., 2001. Bruce L. Benson reviews the book here. is a review of the book by David Gordon.
Drug courts offer radically new ways to deal with the legal and social problems presented by repeat drug offenders, often dismissing criminal charges as an incentive for participation in therapeutic programs. Since the first drug court opened in 1989 in Florida, close to 600 have been established throughout the United States. Although some observers have questioned their efficacy, no one until now has constructed an overall picture of the drug court phenomenon and its place in an American history of the social control of drugs. Here James Nolan 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.
