Problem-Solving Courts: Models and
Trends
Pamela M. Casey
and David B. Rottman
In 2004, the
Conference of Chief Justices and the Conference of State Court Administrators
reaffirmed their commitment to advance the study, evaluation, and integration of
problem-solving methods and principles into the administration of justice. This
paper describes four of the most prominent American problem-solving court models
in terms of their origins, key practices, variety, and success to date, noting
specific features or issues that are distinctive to each model.
It concludes with twelve trends that provide insight into where these
courts now stand and appear to be headed in the future.
Casey and
Rottman's "Problem-Solving
Courts: Models and Trends" publication is also available online.
