New Jersey Assembly Resolution AR124 urges the Supreme Court to use "Recovery Court" instead of "Drug Court" in publications.

Assembly Resolution AR124 urges the New Jersey Supreme Court to change the name of the supervisory treatment program from "Drug Court" to "Recovery Court" in all publications. The resolution argues that the term "Drug Court" is misleading as it emphasizes drug abuse and overlooks the program's focus on recovery from both drug and alcohol addiction. The resolution notes that the term "drug court" is used extensively in Judiciary publications but is not found in the relevant statute, N.J.S.A.2C:35-14.
