An excerpt:
There appears to be a lot of interest in a new kind of court in Washtenaw County.
More than 80 lawyers, mediators, and probation officers packed Judge Timothy Connors’ courtroom on Friday.
They were there for a six-hour education session on the Native American philosophy that guides the new peacemaking court.
The program was led by Tribal Council member and former Tribal Judge JoAnne Gasco and Court Peacemaker Paul Raphael from the Grand Traverse Band of Ottowa and Chippewa Indians.
Here:
We congratulate JoAnne Gasco, a former tribal judge at GTB and LTBB, and a frequent guest speaker at ILPC events, and Tom Shomin, husband to our great friend-of-Turtle-Talk Mary Shomin.
