[Ailist] New book: Non-Adversarial Justice

[Stephanie West Allen]

"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.

"It 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.

"It 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."
