An Acadamy Court Network of model courts is being created for Veterans Treatment Courts, Family Drug Courts, Adult Drug Courts, Mental Health Courts, and Reentry Courts.

 

These courts, located across the country, are recognized by NADCP as courts that use exemplary practices and will:

  • Serve as role models for other courts;
  • Be used to create learning and training for newly created courts;
  • Provide ongoing mentoring with courts in their region; and
  • Be a research platform for the development, identification, and testing of improved court practices.


These courts are going through a rigorous evaluation process competing against other courts. They will be an Academy Court for a three year period.
