ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE
How the Administration of Justice
Program Began
The Administration of Justice program has drawn upon dozens of
criminal justice sources in its development over the last 35 years. It
is a highly regarded; standards based multi-media driven curriculum that is
currently used in educational institutions across the country. The program is
endorsed by National Partners in Education and has been featured at many of
their conferences across the country. The program began as a
single site high school classroom program in Los Angeles County in 1980. By
1988, it was the model curriculum for law related instructional programs in
three school districts in Los Angeles County serving eight high school
programs.
Today the Administration of Justice Program has been adopted for use
by over four hundred educational institutions across the United States and
the number continues to increase yearly. The success of this program is the
user-friendly design, flexibility and ease of delivery. It has been written
in easy to understand formats making it possible to pick the delivery
technique best suited to the instructor's style of teaching. Since its debut
in 1991 the Administration of Justice Program has never been returned for a
refund for any reason. We have had numerous favorable comments from those
instructors who have chosen the Administration of Justice Program for use in
their classrooms (See “Reviews”
on our homepage for a few of the comments).
The program is articulated with several Los Angeles County colleges
for course equivalency credit at the college level. High school students who
successfully complete the high school program are awarded college credits at
the participating college for two courses: Introduction to the Administration
of Justice (ADJU1) and Concepts of Criminal Law (ADJU3). Students are not
required to attend the college after graduation to earn up to nine quarter
units. After graduation should they attend a different college they can have
those credits transferred to the college of their choice. This is the only
curriculum of its kind where instructor input is welcomed in the annual
revision, update and development process. Additionally, instructors may get
help in custom revisions for their own special needs within days or weeks, in
most cases at no extra charge with a simple phone call or email.
