COSCA issued a position paper on therapeutic courts in 1999. See, “Position Paper on Problem Solving Courts,” Conference of State Court Administrators, August 1999. CCJ and COSCA subsequently passed a resolution (see CCJ Resolution 22, COSCA Resolution 4) in support of “problem-solving” courts. Mental-health courts are one example of problem-solving courts.
