Specialty Courts Seminar

Have you ever wondered how to help a client who has been cycling in and out of the criminal justice system for years? The solution is often a Specialty Court program that addresses the underlying cause of the repeat criminal behavior. Learn about the RIC docket, Veterans Court, STAR Drug Court, and the Felony Mental Health Court programs. Also hear about how a nonprofit, Justice Forward, can provide extra support and benefits to the clients and graduates of these programs.

TOPICS:
⇒ RIC Docket Hon. Maritza Antu
⇒ Veterans Court Staci Biggar
⇒ STAR Drug Court Hon. Kelli Johnson, Sally Ring
⇒ Felony Mental Health Court Hon. Brock Thomas
⇒ Justice Forward Mary Covington

A Specialty Court is a problem-solving court designed to address the root causes of criminal activity by providing a judicially supervised, individually crafted probation with mandated treatment. Specialty Courts bridge the gap between criminal justice and therapeutic approaches for offenders. To learn more about these courts, register below for this on-demand CLE:
