Lafayette Blvd, Detroit, MI  48226 from 1:30 – 4:40 p.m.  The purpose of VTC is to provide assistance to military veterans who have honorably served in the armed forces of the United States.  The VTC assists Veterans who have become involved in the criminal justice system using a team approach that attempts to get beyond the legal problems to address the underlying physical, psychological, and substance abuse issues that may have resulted in criminal conduct.  Successful completion of the program may result in a reduced plea, reduction in sentence, etc.

The seminar will feature experts regarding VTC’s including prominent Judges who have established and implemented VTC’s in State Circuit and District Courts.
