ISSUP Argentina invites you to participate in a webinar that will address Therapeutic Justice. Concept and advances in addressing drug-related situations. The webinar will take place on July 3, 2020 at 15:00 hrs (Argentina time).
Therapeutic justice is a legal paradigm that concerns "the study of the role of the law as a therapeutic agent". The proposal is based on developing the way this paradigm is given in the field of criminal justice, family justice and capacity determination in drug-related situations. Therapeutic Justice focuses on the impact of the law on the emotional spectrum and psychological well-being of people, worrying about the psychological, emotional and human side of the law, the legal process and legal actors.
