Podcast appearances and mentions of judge pratt

Thursday, May 11th, 2023   Judge Victoria Pratt was Chief Judge in Newark Municipal Court in New Jersey and the author of The Power of Dignity. She is currently the Executive Director of Odyssey Impact, an interfaith non-profit driving social change through innovative storytelling and media. We discuss procedural justice, municipal court reform, and increasing the public's trust in the justice system.    Tough-on-crime laws are ineffective. Punishing people for wrongdoing does not change behavior. Judge Pratt asserts her authority when she understands the people who appear in court before her. People obey the law when they are treated with respect and dignity, because then they view the people who impose rules and laws as legitimate authorities. Engaging with the criminal justice system is punishment enough, whether you're innocent or not.    Follow Judge Pratt on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/JudgeVPratt    Follow Mila on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/milaatmos    Follow Future Hindsight on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/   Love Future Hindsight?

Having served as the chief judge of the Newark Municipal Court, Judge Victoria Pratt is also professor at the Rutgers Newark School of Criminal Justice. Judge Pratt has a written a book called The Power of Dignity: Transforming Criminal Justice which delves into her work in and out of the courtroom. Having looked for alternatives to the criminal justice system for many years, Judge Pratt is an advocate of community solutions and going deeper than your average courtroom. Her TED talk, "How Judges Can Show Respect," has been viewed over thirty million times and is well worth a watch. In this podcast episode we speak about the many ways in which the justice system needs to change and how judges and police officers need a tangible link to their communities in order to understand the people in which they deal with. We also speak about the many pipelines to prison, and how people from BAME backgrounds are inherently at a disadvantage in the justice system... and of course addiction, we must speak about addiction.

Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Judge Victoria Pratt. Driven. Innovative. Inspiring. These are a few of the words used to describe Judge Victoria Pratt who has gained national and international acclaim for her commitment to reforming the criminal justice system. During her tenure as the Chief Judge in Newark Municipal Court in Newark, New Jersey, she spent years gaining a deep understanding of how justice could be delivered to court participants in a manner that increased their trust in the legal system and changed their behavior. While presiding over Newark Community Solutions, the Community Court Program, she used creative problem solving to provide alternatives to jail to low-level offenders. These alternatives included community service, individual and group counseling sessions, and her signature assignment of introspective essays. Called a pioneer in procedural justice, her respectful approach, and treating individuals with dignity has had a positive effect on court participants' court experience, how the community viewed the court and how court players viewed their roles. Her TED Talk, How Judges Can Show Respect, has gone viral. It has been translated into 11 languages, received over one million views and the Facebook clip has received an astounding 21 million views. A fierce advocate committed to reform, Pratt has worked with jurisdictions across the nation, and as far as Ukraine, England, Trinidad and Tobago, and Mexico. In that role she facilitates workshops and presentations on alternative sentencing for juveniles and adults, as well as procedural justice. As a nationally recognized expert in procedural justice and alternative sentencing, Judge Pratt has been asked by numerous professional organizations to share her story and philosophy. Pratt's work has been featured in The Guardian newspaper, The Simple Idea that Could Transform U.S. Criminal Justice, and Rutgers Magazine, Asking for a Little Respect, both written by Pulitzer prize winning author Tina Rosenberg. She has also appeared on MSNBC's the Melissa Harris Perry Show, the Emmy-award winning PBS show Due Process- Community Court: A Kinder, Gentler Way? and National Public Radio's WBGO: Conversations with Allan Wolper. Now, a Professor at Rutgers Law School in Newark, New Jersey, she teaches Problem Solving Justice and Restorative Justice. She also continues to champion criminal justice reform through her consulting firm Pratt Lucien Consultants, LLC, by sharing her skills and approach with others. As well as speaking to leaders of institutions and organizations about how to heighten and restore respect into their day-to-day operations so that their mission can be better achieved. Pratt is licensed to practice law in both New Jersey and New York, and is admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court. She also facilitates Mountain Movers empowerment sessions to help individuals live their best lives. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/quientueres/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/quientueres/support

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Rutgers Law School Professor and retired Judge, Victoria Pratt to discuss Procedural Justice.   Everyone has a unique story; an individual’s background shapes and molds who they are along the way and eventually, who they become. So, why do we ignore those backgrounds and life paths when it comes to sentencing for crimes? In a fascinating conversation, Aaron and Judge Pratt ask this question and address the importance of compassion and understanding in life and in the courtroom, and moreover, how those two concepts are interconnected.   Fairness and respect are two words that sum up Judge Pratt’s idea for America’s justice system. Retired Judge and Rutgers University Law Professor Victoria Pratt joins Aaron today to talk about her idea of Procedural Justice, a concept that would start treating people who have committed a crime as a person rather than a prisoner.   Please enjoy this fantastic conversation with Judge Pratt and be sure to check out her Ted Talk and other media appearances at: https://judgevictoriapratt.com/media.   Host: Aaron Freiwald Guest: Judge Victoria Pratt   Follow Good Law | Bad Law: YouTube: Good Law | Bad Law Instagram: @GoodLawBadLaw Website: https://www.law-podcast.com

Research on procedural justice suggest that when court users perceive the justice process to be fair, they are more likely to comply with court orders and to follow the law in the future— regardless of whether they “win” or “lose” their case. Today we have an in-depth discussion about the implications of procedural justice by interviewing Judge Victoria Pratt, a nationally acclaimed judge and professor at Rutgers Law School whose TED Talk, How Judges Can Show Respect, has over one million views. We begin the interview by discussing Judge Pratt’s motivation for pursuing a judgeship (21:15), her experiences as the Chief Judge in Newark Municipal Court (24:00), and her innovative approach to justice in the courtroom (27:10). We then have a conversation about common criticisms of community court and restorative justice approaches (35:12), how Judge Pratt navigated the various challenges she experienced as a black woman behind the bench (42:32), and the importance of judges remaining connected to the community (48:55). We close the interview by discussing the importance of moving away from law and order and moving toward restorative justice (1:03:31).   Other Topics Include: 00:30 - Catch up with Ty and Daphne 03:08 - BhD “Oh Lawd” News 20:08 - Introduction of the Topic 1:08:58 - Ty and Daphne Reflect on the Interview   Resources: Judge Pratt’s Website - https://judgevictoriapratt.com/ Twitter: @JudgeVPratt How Judges Can Show Respect TED Talk - https://www.ted.com/talks/victoria_pratt_how_judges_can_show_respect/up-next?language=en Procedural Justice Resources - https://trustandjustice.org/resources/intervention/procedural-justice
