The Midtown Community Court, established by the Center for Court Innovation in 1993, was one of the country’s first problem-solving courts, providing alternatives to fines and jail as a response to low-level crime. Located in a late 19th-century landmarked building that was originally constructed as the Seventh District Police Court and Prison (and now shared with a non-profit theater company), the Midtown Community Court seeks sentences that are restorative to the victim, defendant, and community. An onsite social services clinic, and fatherhood and workforce development programs, are open to everyone.
Join OHNY for a tour of the building and an overview of the court’s work. The tour will also include time to observe court in session.

Spaces of Justice is a year-long series of tours, panel discussions, and other public programs that allow the public to examine firsthand the spaces with primary responsibility for producing safety and rendering justice in New York City. Major support has been provided by the National Endowment for the Arts and a grant from the Reba Judith Sandler Foundation.
