UC Berkeley law professor Jonathan Simon would like to see drug courts’ best features integrated into the justice system as a whole, rather than confined to a specialized sub-system. “If we’re now in an era when there’s possibilities for rescaling our ambitions for what the criminal process ought to handle, then I think that drug courts might be part of the problem,” Simon said.
