Ten years ago Buffalo’s Veteran’s Treatment Court under Judge Russell, became a model for other communities looking to begin their court system for veterans.
Judge Russell says the men and women who were willing to put their lives at risk on behalf of the nation deserve the help if needed, to get their lives back in order.
Justice for Vets has taken up the torch. Justice For Vets has helped establish over 250 Veterans Treatment Courts and trained over 3,000 court staff members. Additionally, Justice For Vets has conducted 40 volunteer veteran mentor boot camp training programs, that has served thousands of veteran mentors.
