Restorative Justice

Restorative Justice is very different from the adversarial legal process and general litigation.  The adversarial system pits individuals and entities against one another based upon the belief that the process of two sides opposing one another will result in fact finding and/or vindication.  That is not always the result, however.  Traditional processes may result in a negative impact on all parties, leaving them worse off than before they entered the legal system.  The community at large is negatively impacted as a result.  Restorative Justice explores systems that enable all litigants to become whole and outsomes that truly benefit the community.  The goal is for all parties to exit the legal system better equipped to engage in our society and to recover from whatever harm or issue that brought them into the legal system. 

Special Thanks to Program Chairperson, James Holman.   This important and informative program is hosted at the suggestion and with the support of distinguished alumnus, James L. Holman, Tacoma, WA.
