Is the Isle of Man ready for a new approach to justice?

Is the Isle of Man ready for a new approach to justice?

Join us for a fascinating evening exploring Problem-Solving Courts, an initiative which is transforming justice systems around the world.

This free public lecture, hosted by the Isle of Man Law Society in memory of Caroline Weatherill, Sponsored by Advocates Smith Taubitz Unsworth Ltd, delves into a collaborative approach that tackles the root causes of crime by judges, lawyers, social workers, and other professionals working together to create tailored plans for offenders, reducing re-offending rates and fostering a more effective justice system.  If embraced, the cost to society of criminal offending could fall, both in terms of re-offending rates and cost to the public purse in prosecuting and incarcerating offenders.

Here's what you can expect:

• Expert insights: Hear from renowned Consultant Forensic Psychologist Geraldine O'Hare, who is a pioneer in Problem Solving Courts and former Presiding District Judge Fiona Bagnal. 
• Discussion: Pick the brains of these experts to see how Problem Solving Courts could work on our Island.
• Open to all: Whether you're an Advocate, a member of the public, or simply curious about the future of justice, this lecture is for you!
