From the publisher
Standards of Justice challenges traditional ideas around what it means to serve justice. Through compelling firsthand accounts and thoughtful conversation, this season explores how treatment courts are transforming the justice system’s approach to people impacted by substance use and mental health disorders by prioritizing recovery, health, and community. Hosted by All Rise Director of Communications Chris Deutsch, we present a vision of justice grounded in an understanding of what works, what doesn’t, and an abiding belief in people’s capacity to change.
