Case Studies

A frequent question asked by judges and judicial educators is “how are other courts handling the problems related to underage drinking?”  The case studies section contains a synopsis of programs, strategies and practices employed by courts and communities across the United States in their attempt to make a meaningful impact on youthful offenders and to reduce the rate of recidivism for these types of cases.  If you are aware of an innovative court program or you would like to have your program added to our case studies section please contact Senior Program Manager Aidan Moore at 603-369-1766 or at [email protected].
