new blog from the San Francisco Superior Court itself, solely dedicated to on again, off again Community
Justice Center, Moving Justice Forward blog
The San Francisco Superior Court has been in the collaborative justice business for many years – and it finally has its very own blog!
This blog is dedicated to distributing information and discussing ideas related to collaborative justice programs in San Francisco and nationwide.
From the Central City Extra (not to be confused with THC’s Central City SRO collaborative)
COURT WATCHERS San Francisco Superior
Court has gone cyber with Moving Justice Forward,
its new blog: sfcollaborativejustice.blogspot.com.
The site has information about the city’s collaborative
justice programs — Behavioral Health Court,
Dependency Drug Court, Proposition 36 Court,
Juvenile Drug Court, Community Court and its
newest, the proposed but not-quite-for-sure-yet
Community Justice Center at 555 Polk. Links abound
— to the Office of the Controller’s 34-page April
assessment of the center; to all of the city’s collaborative
justice programs; to state and national community
justice resources; to a national roundup of
media stories and agency reports; and to a category
called “Offbeat & Controversial,” which currently
features a CNN.com story, “Judge: Learn English or
go to jail.” (That was a Pennsylvania judge’s order to
Spanish-speaking robbers, not an editorial on the
judge’s language skills.) You can subscribe to the
blog and get email notifications when it’s updated.
Blog contributors include Jennifer Pasinosky, coordinator
of Dependency Drug Court; Danica Jardini,
Moving Justice Forward coordinator; Lisa Lightman,
director of collaborative justice courts; Leslie Cogan,
assistant district attorney for the Behavioral Health
Court; and Kathleen Lacey, citywide case manager
for Behavioral Health Court.
