Part 1: Repairing Harm and Rebuilding
Communities
The Massachusetts Bar Association's Judicial Administration Section and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Committee (DEIC) will present a two-part program series on restorative justice. This will
be a robust discussion of the restorative justice efforts that are
happening within the trial courts on the state and federal level, schools,
workplaces, and programs. At its core, restorative justice re-imagines the
definition of “justice," substituting “punishment" with “repair.” To better
understand this shift, the MBA invites you to engage in our upcoming two-part
series.
Program takeaways include:
- Understanding the historical background of restorative
justice
- Understanding the benefits of restorative justice
- Gaining insight on strategies and methods to
successfully advocate for restorative justice as an alternative disposition
- Learning about the current restorative justice pilot programs in the state
and federal courts
