The circuit court operates a number of specialty courts designed to address the underlying reasons that individuals find themselves involved in a court case. Often the funding for a specialty court is a grant that provides supplemental resources for the court. All of the specialty courts are a recognition that new strategies to deliver services should be explored, with the goal of providing a plan of action to allow individuals and families to regain their place in the community. Each of the specialty courts includes a presiding judge, along with dedicated staff from a variety of agencies and community partners.
Specialty courts use a model for change, sometimes referred to as “therapeutic jurisprudence.” The core value of a specialty court is accountability for conduct coupled with an opportunity for change.
