Description

John S. Goldkamp. When the Midtown Community Court (CC) began operation in NYC in 1993, it posed a challenge to traditional assumptions about the role of American courts in dispensing justice &, in particular, about how they should relate to the “community.” The Midtown experiment was a catalyst for innovation & encouraged the diffusion of the CC model to other jurisdictions with different settings & challenges. The Hartford, CT CC opened in 1998 &, as one of the first post-Midtown CC, represents a test of the transferability of the CC model to more ”typical” Amer. settings. This report describes Hartford’s adaptations of the model & outlines an evaluation plan for assessing its progress & impact.
