Peggy Hora
Solution-Focused Judging Bench Book
As some of the contributors to different vectors of the comprehensive law movement or non-adversarial justice – such as Peggy Hora, David Wexler, Bruce Winick and Victorian Deputy Chief Magistrate Jelena Popovic have observed – judging in a problem-solving court is significantly different from conventional judging. It is little wonder that mainstream legal education, legal practice and judicial education have hitherto largely not properly prepared judicial officers for this form of judging.

General Interest Australian Law Report on P-S Courts
From Michael King:
This is an excellent program. As well as important insights from Peggy [Hora]concerning offending related problems and taking a problem solving approach, there is also some interesting material on veterans courts.
Part 2 of the program is on Tuesday morning at 8.30 am, Australian
Eastern Summer Time. It covers some Australian initiatives in
problem-solving courts and, I am informed, includes coverage of the Drug Court at Dandenong.

Hon Peggy Fulton Hora in Melbourne
Monash Law Faculty has just had the pleasure of hosting a visit by Peggy Fulton Hora to Melbourne. It is not the best time of the year to be in Melbourne – it is winter and we sent her off last night with the wind building pace and a huge storm imminent. Being originally from Perth, I shall be glad when the cold weather comes to an end.

Law Students Peggy Hora - Law's Paris Hilton?
In previous postings, we've mentioned that Judge Peggy Hora is in Australia as a "Thinker in Residence." She is apparently making quite a splash in the media and has even been recognized on the street! Peggy has an entertaining blog which combines her work with a nice view of Australian life (helpful for those of us hankering to attend the May conference on Non-Adversarial Justice). Check it out:
