To Students in Week Four of History and Theory:
In addition to the regular assignments for this Section, I’ve posted draft chapters of an exciting new book by Greg Berman and Aubry Fox of the Center for Court Innovation, Failing to Succeed. Berman and Fox are the architects of the new concept of “problem solving courts,” and the designers of the Manhattan Mid-town Community Court, The Red-Hook (Brooklyn) Drug Court, and many other innovative court programs in New York state and elsewhere.
In working with them, I said that students in my section of History and Theory might offer some feedback on the manuscript in time to be helpful for their final revisions. I’d like to spend some time on Thursday evening, the last day of class, discussing this manuscript with you. It is a quick read, but still it is long, so you might want to concentrate on one or two chapters that especially interest you. With luck your interests will differ and we’ll have at least one person who has carefully read each chapter. — MMF
