Two Reclaiming Futures Fellows Nominated for Goldstein Hall of Fame

This year two Reclaiming Futures fellows, Judge Anthony Capizzi, Reclaiming Futures Montgomery County Judicial Fellow and Reclaiming Futures Judicial Faculty, and Lilas Rajaee, project director of Reclaiming Futures Denver, have been nominated for the Goldstein Hall of Fame.
The Honorable Judge Stanley M. Goldstein was the first Drug Court judge in the nation. In recognition of Judge Goldstein's example, expertise, and leadership, the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP) named the Drug Court Hall of Fame in his honor. From the NADCP website:

In 1989, the first Drug Court was established in Miami, Florida, to process criminal cases of substance-abusing offenders through comprehensive supervision, testing, treatment, sanctions and incentives.
Judge Goldstein's untiring efforts epitomize the qualities this award seeks to honor in each of its recipients. NADCP inaugurated the "Stanley M. Goldstein Drug Court Hall of Fame" in January 2003.

Congratulations to Judge Capizzi and Lilas Rajaee for all of your tireless work.
