This is a picture of a hearing in Street Outreach Court Detroit.

Look at the smiling faces of every single person. Over 600 times now.

This is what justice can look and feel like if it's about giving people the opportunity to pursue their better angels--and we practitioners ours.

I am so thankful for the ABA's Commission on Homelessness and Poverty for being there for us as we worked to bring this court to Detroit, and thankful that it continues to be an agent for change in this space.
