In this module, Chief Judge Ricardo Martinez (W.D. Wash.) relates lessons from his extensive experience running drug court programs in both state and federal courts. He shares stories and offers tips for judges who may have an interest in drug court operations as a means of addressing the opioid crisis in their own jurisdictions. As he notes, there is not a manual judges can rely upon to guarantee success–there are, nevertheless, lessons gleaned from his experience that can benefit other judges and courts.
