Atlanta's Weed and Seed works very closely with the Fulton County Juvenile Court led by The Honorable Nina Hickson and Atlanta Community Court led by The Honorable William Riley. Judge Riley serves as Weed and Seed's Seed Committee Chair and is extremely dedicated to dispelling the notion that working out community related crimes with regards to offenders and victims within the community is impossible. It is indeed possible, when supported by innovative and determined citizens and professionals. A prime example of Atlanta's progressive community action with regards to crime and punishment in their own backyards is the establishment of The Mechanicsville and Pittsburgh Restorative Community Board.

On July 23, 2002 in the courtroom of Judge William Riley, eight men and women from Weed and Seed's targeted communities, Pittsburgh and Mechanicsville, were sworn in as members of The City of Atlanta's very first Restorative Community Board.

A Restorative Board is based on the Restorative Justice approach. It is the idea that the criminal justice system can better serve the community through alternative sentencing options, such as community service, for low- level offenders allowing individuals to give something back to the community. Restorative Justice is a voluntary face-to-face encounter, which empowers participants, based on the incident, his or her behavior and underlying factors. The Board makes recommendations to the Atlanta Community Court and Fulton County Juvenile Court regarding conditions of probation for neighborhood offenders.
