Judicial discretion is the power of the judiciary to make some legal decisions according to their discretion . Under the doctrine of the separation of powers , the ability of judge s to exercise discretion is an aspect of judicial independence . Where appropriate, judicial discretion allows a judge to decide a legal case or matter within a range of possible decisions. However, where the exercise of discretion goes beyond constraints set down by legislation , by binding precedent , or by a constitution , the court may be abusing its discretion and undermining the rule of law . In that case, the decision of the court may be ultra vires , and may sometimes be characterized as judicial activism . Chief Justice John Marshall wrote the following on this subject blockquote Judicial power, as contradistinguished from the power of the laws, has no existence. Courts are the mere instruments of the law, and can will nothing. When they are said to exercise a discretion, it is a mere legal discretion, a discretion to be exercised in discerning the course prescribed by law and, when that is discerned, it is the duty of the court to follow it. Judicial power is never exercised for the purpose of giving effect to the will of the judge, always for the purpose of giving effect to the will of the legislature or, in other words, to the will of the law. ref http supreme.justia.com us 22 738 case.html Osborn V.

No footnotes date March 2012 A Koori Court is a division of the Magistrate s court in Victoria, Australia , that sentences Indigenous Australian s who pleaded guilty. Koori Courts were created in order to allow participation of the Aboriginal community and culture in the legal system, in an attempt to bridge the cultural differences between Indigenous Australians and the imposed colonial law. They began operation in 2002, and are held on a designated day in an ordinary courthouse. The laws administered are exactly the same as in any Australian courthouse, but the format of the hearing is different. In Koori Court, the Magistrate or Judge sits at a table with the accused, and legalese is not allowed. The defendant may have members of their family sit with them and participate in the proceedings. Prosecutor s have personal conversations with the defendant about their circumstances, in order to arrive at the most suitable and culturally appropriate sentence. An elder from the community is present to advise the Magistrate on the sentence. The Koori Courts have been successful in not only reducing recidivism but also in strengthening the role of community elders and family structures. Koori Courts in Victoria Australia Victoria are located in Bairnsdale, Broadmeadows , Latrobe Valley Morwell , Mildura , Shepparton and Warrnambool . There are also two Koori Children s Courts, one in Melbourne and one in Mildura. A Koori County Court, the only one of it s kind in the state, also operates out of the Latrobe Valley Court. The Koori Courts are an initiative of the Victorian Aboriginal Justice Agreement, a joint partnership strategy between the Victorian Government and the Victorian Koori Community developed to reduce Indigenous over representation in the criminal justice system and to improve justice outcomes for the Koori Community.

The Association is in favor of promoting and encouraging drug treatment courts for addicts, including the Drug Treatment Alternative to Prison or DTAP program, first implemented by District Attorney Charles J. Hynes from Kings County, New York . In addition, all 62 district attorneys operate drug treatment courts and have requested that the legislature fund more prosecutors to staff these courts .
