Abstract:
One-fourth, or around 1,900 of North Carolina's over 8,100 AIDS cases, are the result of drug users exchanging dirty needles. The Institute of Medicine, a national think tank, proposes a needle-exchange program, whereby drug users can turn in used needles for clean ones. The program is not without its critics, who cite giving drug users drug paraphernalia. There are 100 exchange programs nationwide. North Carolina's only program is in Asheville.

Abstract:
Some were real life converted to reel life, such as Philadelphia (1993) and A Time to Kill (1996). Others were based on novels: Inherit the Wind (1958) and To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). The remaining six were also fictitious accounts of the justice system. Whatever the plot’s source, they offered insightful and entertaining portrayals of life from both sides of the counsellor’s table.
