Despite Judicial Emergency, NorCo Drug Court Will Continue

Northampton County Courts are operating under a judicial emergency in which courtrooms are closed to the public, with the exception of judicial emergencies like domestic violence victims who seek protection. This does, however, present problems for participants in Drug Court. Most are in the early stages of recovery, and their sobriety is at risk. So Judge Craig Dally has arranged for a virtual meeting with the treatment teams today.

"I think it is important that the public is aware that our work continues in the very stressful world for all of us and probably more so for the people in our programs," said Judge Dally, who also oversees the Mental Health Court.

Good for the judge! Obviously, he cares about keeping people on track during a time when they could easily be derailed.

Oh, just let them take drugs already and end this "War of Drugs" nonsense!
