Philosophy
Judge Stuttley believes that we should work to meet the needs
of juvenile offenders, victims and all residents so that our families
and communities are enhanced rather than torn apart by juvenile
crime. He believes that more proactive measures should use to
prevent at-risk youth from entering the court system.

is working to meet the needs of offenders, victims and all residents
so that our communities are enhanced rather than torn apart by
the crimes of our youth. Stuttley has developed and oversees countless
programs that have been put in place to establish connections.
Judge Stuttley stands by very basic principles that tend to work.
"If offenders realize there is a victim that has been impacted
by their actions, it is my hope that when and where possible,
the offender will take accountability for their actions and attempt
to right their wrong. If you are willing to make amends for what
you've done, we have the tools to support you. The Markham Courthouse
has programs in place to demonstrate to our youth that society
isn't willing to throw them away for one mistake.
