Nonjudicial officers (NJOs) permeate the criminal justice and the
forensic mental health systems in hidden ways. But what are the
impact and consequences of non-lawyers and non- "real judges"
hearing cases? Across the nation, numerous cases are outsourced to
administrative and other NJOs to decide issues ranging from family
court cases involving custody disputes and foster care, to alcohol,
substance abuse, as well as mental health and institutionalization
issues. Moreover, NJOs may also deal with probation sentencing,
conditions of confinement, release restrictions, and even capital
punishment. The editors and contributors to the indispensable
Justice Outsourced examine the hidden role of these non-judicial
officers in the courtroom and administrative settings, as well as
the ethical and practical considerations of using NJOs. Written
from the perspective of therapeutic jurisprudence by judges,
criminologists, lawyers, law professors, psychologists, and
sociologists, this volume provides a much-needed wake-up call that
emphasizes why the removal of a judge weakens a defendant's rights
and dignity and corrupts the administration of justice. However,
Justice Outsourced also suggests effective employments of NJOs,
revealing the potential of therapeutic principles and procedures to
enhance the practical knowledge supplied by nonjudicial
decision-makers.
