<i>“The issues of nonjudges making judicial decisions are, as the lead chapter of this indispensable collection tells us, hiding in plain view. These masterful essays place a therapeutic jurisprudence lens on issues that permeate the criminal justice, mental disability law, and family law systems, and demonstrate clearly how we fail when we outsource so many of the issues that are covered here.</i> Justice Outsourced <i>is a comprehensive and welcome—and necessary—addition to the transitional justice literature.”</i>—David B. Wexler, Professor of Law at the University of Puerto Rico and Distinguished Research Professor of Law at the University of Arizona
<i>“</i>Justice Outsourced <i>provides a powerful critique of the forensic mental health system from the theoretical perspective of therapeutic jurisprudence. Central to this critique is the likely unknown fact that far too many legal decisions affecting this population are made by nonlegal authorities, whose decisions at times are at odds with the sentencing judge adjudicating these cases.</i> Justice Outsourced <i>is the first text of its kind to explore the implications of these questionable administrative practices. It is a must-read.”</i>—David Polizzi, Professor at Indiana State University
