Live Webinar Description:
Following a brief annual election of the MVA Section, the first hour will
highlight the Veterans Restorative Justice Act (VRJA). Passed in 2021, the VRJA
is the result of a collaboration between prosecutors, defense attorneys, social
workers, and the state and federal Veterans Affairs agencies that created a
specialized sentencing structure for veterans who committed criminal offenses as
the result of a service-connected condition. Eligible veterans are given the
opportunity to avoid jail time and a criminal conviction if they complete all
recommended treatment and abide by other conditions ordered by the court.
The second hour of the program will be a briefing on legislative updates on
issues related to, and affecting, servicemembers, veterans, and their
families.
