PROGRAM (March 12, 2002)

PRESIDENT OSCAR introduced BILL HATFIELD, who in turn introduced Randall Shepard, Chief Justice, Indiana Supreme Court who made a most interesting presentation regarding three approaches to criminal justice,

• Criminal court (judges now have various alternatives for dealing with offenders, particularly young offenders);
• Courts deal with dysfunctional families (divorces, disolutions, etc. where children are involved - now courts have recruited and trained volunteers who articulate what is best for the child); and
• Assist people who have trouble getting access to law due to lack of funds (last 18 months have organized attorneys who are willing to give time to represent this type of situation).
