Veterans Court
Are You Eligible for Veterans Court?
Having a case moved to a Veterans Court must usually be done through a court order from the judge in the case, and not by contacting the Veterans Court directly. If you are a veteran and have a criminal case, please consult with your attorney to find out whether you can participate in Veterans Court.
Veterans Court accept all military branches – including reserves and the National Guard. Eligibility requirements vary by county, but most VTCs accept certain types of felony or misdemeanor cases and require participants to:
- Have served in the military,
- Plead guilty in a criminal case,
- Be experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), Military Sexual Trauma (MST), substance or other diagnosed disorders, and
- Agree to participate in the length of the program
