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.

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

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
