In 2021, the Judges’ and Psychiatrists’ Leadership Initiative (JPLI) established two awards in honor of the late Judge Stephen S. Goss, presented during the annual JPLI Leadership Summit to judges and psychiatrists who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership in improving the lives of people with behavioral health needs in the criminal justice system. These awards acknowledge Judge Goss’s tireless efforts to rethink how judges handle cases for defendants with behavioral health needs.
This event will include the presentation of the Judge Goss, Lifetime Achievement, and our new Team award. As well as a conversation with JPLI Leadership and experts about the Mental Health Task Force in New York (where the in-person event will be convening), how judges and psychiatrists can collaborate to improve outcomes for people with mental illness, and how to address misconceptions about people with mental illness.
We will be awarding the following individuals for their exceptional leadership and achievements in improving outcomes for justice-involved individuals with behavioral health needs:
Judge Stephen S. Goss Award Recipients
- Hon. Wes Curry
- Dr. Jennifer Piel
JPLI Lifetime Achievement Award Recipients
- Hon. Marcia Hirsch
- Dr. Terry Kupers
Team Award Recipients (first time we'll be including this award!)
- Dr. Judith Edersheim (psychiatrist), Hon. Nancy Gertner, Ret, and Dr. Robert Kinscherff (psychologist)
