The University of Miami School of Law’s Therapeutic Jurisprudence Center and its Center for Ethics & Public Service present a Lecture on Non-Adversarial Justice by Dean Arie Freiberg.
Dean Freiberg of the Monash University School of Law in Melbourne, Australia will speak at the law school on Thursday, October 22, from 4-6 p.m., in the faculty meeting room on the fourth floor of the law library. Dean Freiberg is co-author of an exciting new book that was just published, Non-Adversarial Justice.
This book outlines key aspects of a growing trend within the Australian, United States, Canadian, New Zealand, United Kingdom and other legal systems towards the use of non-adversarial justice.
The book examines in detail non-adversarial theories and practices such as therapeutic jurisprudence, restorative justice, preventive law, creative problem solving, holistic law, appropriate or alternative dispute resolution, collaborative law, problem-oriented courts, diversion programs, indigenous courts, coroners courts and managerial and administrative procedures.
The book identifies the common themes, values and principles that bring these disparate theories and practices together and explicates them for practitioners, courts and students. It examines the implications of these changes on legal practice, the courts and legal education.
Refreshments will be served.
