In 2021, the Judges’

established two awards in honor of the late Judge Stephen S.
Goss. The award is presented during the annual JPLI Leadership

extraordinary leadership in improving the lives of people with
behavioral health needs in the criminal justice system. Now in
their third year, the Judge Stephen S. Goss Memorial Awards will
be presented for the first time in person ahead of the American
Psychiatric Association Annual Conference in San Francisco, CA.
Anyone interested in nominating a judge or psychiatrist whose
work demonstrates excellence and leadership must submit a
