Veterans Court

 

The Akron Municipal Court realized years ago that jail is not always the best solution to every offense – especially if the suspect is addicted to drugs or alcohol, or has a mental health condition.

 

That thinking led to the formation of five special courts which deal with nonviolent offenders. The specialty courts have successfully directed offenders to alternative treatments and sentencing which address their underlying problems. They are:

  • Drug Court

  • Family Violence Court

  • Mental Health Court

  • Discretionary Rehabilitation

  • DUI Court

The court intends to join forces with the Summit County Veterans Service Commission to form a sixth specialty court – Veterans Court.
