"At-Home" Court Ordered Classes

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE / BATTERY

Domestic Violence / Battery Court targets misdemeanor cases (the felony cases are heard in Superior Court). There is one Domestic Violence / Battery Court in each county’s two criminal justice branches. A judge is usually permanently assigned to these two Courts.

Domestic Violence / Battery Court sentencing occurs one morning each week in each judicial branch. On this calendar, the Court integrates the domestic violence sentencings with post-sentence domestic violence case reviews. Defendants who are sentenced from this calendar are placed on supervised probation for a minimum of 18 months. Unless defendants are remanded to custody, they are ordered to enroll in a certified domestic violence / battery treatment program within 13 days and to return to the same court in precisely 14 days with a Proof of Enrollment form furnished and endorsed by the certified treatment provider. Court Ordered Classes provides you and the Court with Proof of Enrollment and Progress Reports for all of our enrolled Domestic Violence / Battery class participants. Consequences of non-compliance are an extension, of not more than additional 14 days or remand to custody if no Proof of Enrollment is furnished or a bench warrant to be issued if they fail to appear as ordered.

Following Proof of Enrollment appearances, defendants appear before the same Domestic Violence / Battery Court for progress reports at intervals to be delivered by the Court. Please remember that Court Ordered Classes provides both you and the Court with Proof of Enrollment and Progress Reports for all of our enrolled Domestic Violence / Battery class participants. (The first progress report appearance is 28 days after enrollment; subsequent appearances are at the Court’s discretion, and depend on the quality of the defendant’s progress.)

COURT REVIEWS

During progress report hearings, there is sincere interchange between the Court and defendant. Good progress is always positively reinforced directly by the Court. Poor performance is negatively reinforced in various ways, ranging from verbal admonishment to incarceration. Progress report materials for the Court’s consideration include written reports from the treatment providers and written reports from the probation officer.

Once again, Court Ordered Classes, upon participant request can provide the Probation Officer, along with the Court, Proof of Enrollment and Progress Reports for all of our enrolled Domestic Violence / Battery class participants.

 

 

DEFERRED ENTRY OF JUDGMENT (DEJ)

Deferred Entry of judgment (DEJ) is designed for a population of non-sophisticated drug offenders, who enter a plea of “guilty” or “nolo contender” (no contest) to legally-specified drug related charges. The offenders are ordered to participate in a program of drug education and basic counseling, generally for a period of about 3 – 12 months. They are also placed on DEJ probation, usually for 12-18 months, where their performance is monitored by a special DEJ Deputy Probation Officer or DPO. The DPOs monitor treatment progress, and monitor any new arrests, reporting it to the Court, and recommending potential, subsequent Court actions. Court Ordered Classes, upon participant request can provide the Probation Officer, along with the Court, Proof of Enrollment and Progress Reports for all of our enrolled participants.

Offenders satisfactorily completing DEJ probation additionally benefit by having their guilty or nolo pleas dismissed at the end of the probation term, relieving them of the legal obligation to report said conviction.

DRUG COURT

Drug Court is a program designed to facilitate substance abuse recovery, through treatment, ongoing monitoring, and reinforcement. Statutorily eligible clients convicted of certain drug-related offenses that do not involve sales activity may be ordered to participate in this program at time of initial sentencing.

Drug Court combines essential substance abuse treatment with intensive probationary supervision, and frequent judicial monitoring of client progress through the course of treatment. Prescribed treatment may be residential or outpatient in nature, depending on needs of the client. In addition, treatment providers and probation officers administer urinalyses on random and as-needed bases, to consistently reinforce the recovery effort. Clients are seen frequently, in the field, and in the Probation Office, as officers provide all possible support and structure, to create optimal recovery incentive.

The specially-designated Drug Court is an integral part of the program. The same Judge monitors the client throughout the program, exhibiting a caring, ongoing concern about each client, and treatment participation/outcome. Upon satisfactory completion of the designated program, a formal graduation recognizing client efforts is held in the same Court, in a special evening proceeding. Recognition of this significant client accomplishment is an important, therapeutic part of the overall process.

Once again, Court Ordered Classes, upon participant request can provide the Probation Officer, along with the Court, Proof of Enrollment and Progress Reports for all of our enrolled DEJ class participants. Offenders satisfactorily completing DEJ probation additionally benefit by having their guilty or nolo pleas dismissed at the end of the probation term, relieving them of the legal obligation to report said conviction.
