Title: Navigating the Veterans Treatment Court: Legal Frameworks, Local Operations, and Inter-District Transfers in the 8th Judicial District

12pm-1pm MST

Location: 201 Laporte Ave., Fort Collins, CO 80521

Description:

Veterans Treatment Courts (VTCs) combine judicially supervised treatment, accountability, and multi-agency collaboration to serve justice-involved former service members whose legal issues stem from service-related trauma, PTSD, or substance use disorders. Grounded in national best practice standards established by All Rise—the leading organization setting evidence-based guidelines for treatment courts across the United States—the 8th Judicial District VTC provides structured rehabilitation to enhance public safety and reduce recidivism in Larimer County. Designed for prosecutors, defense attorneys, and court officers, this 60-minute CLE offers a practical roadmap for identifying eligible veterans, navigating local multidisciplinary operations, understanding due process and confidentiality waivers, and handling inter-district transfers when a veteran's home jurisdiction lacks a specialized VTC docket.
