VETERAN BOOT CAMP

The Veteran’s Treatment Docket is a specialized docket that works within the Cleveland Municipal Court. It is intended to serve active-duty military service members and veterans who have become involved with the court. In recognition that many veterans return to civilian life with physical and mental trauma, the court takes the responsibility for ensuring that veterans receive the treatment they need. The program provides the veterans with a mentor to support their success along the way and a “boot camp” event was recently held at the Westin Hotel to kick off the training process.

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH MUNI COURT

Earl B. Turner, who is the Clerk of the Cleveland Municipal Court, recently brought his staff back to La Sagrada Familia Church for the “In the Neighborhood” with Muni Court event which laid the ground work for men and woman to begin to wipe their criminal records clean of traffic violations, and non-violent misdemeanor offenses.
