Increasingly courts are using new approaches that promote a more comprehensive resolution of legal problems, minimise any negative effects that legal processes have on participant wellbeing and/or that use legal processes to promote participant wellbeing. Therapeutic jurisprudence, restorative justice, mediation and problem-solving courts are examples. This article suggests a model for the use of these processes in the coroner's court to minimise negative effects of coroner's court processes on the bereaved and to promote a more comprehensive resolution of matters at issue, including the determination of the cause of death and the public health and safety promotion role of the coroner.
越来越多的法院正在采用新方法，以促进对法律问题进行更全面的解决，尽量减少法律程序对参与者福祉产生的负面影响，和/或利用法律程序来促进参与者的福祉。治疗性法理学、恢复性司法、调解和问题解决型法院就是例子。本文提出了一个在死因裁判法庭运用这些程序的模式，以尽量减少死因裁判法庭程序对死者家属的负面影响，并促进对相关问题进行更全面的解决，包括死因判定以及死因裁判官在促进公众健康和安全方面所起的作用。
