Should there be a Veterans Court in every State? Why or Why not?

Definitely and at the circuit level not just the state. Here are some key facts from the 4th JD in CO.
Result from the evaluation of participants in the 4th JD has yielded the following results3:
• 156 Veterans in the VTC; 111 evaluated
• 56 have graduated from the program (records may be sealed)
• No recidivism by program graduates within 1 year of graduation (National avg. for those entering the judicial system is 68-75%)
• In program recidivism is 14%
• This is the 1st Felony-Level VTC in the Nation

No. Veterans are still expected the follow the law simple as that. If they chose to do otherwise then that is a decision they made. There should be no special treatment such as a special court. This is why they can present mitigating factors in a normal courtroom.

Given the trials that our combat folks especially have faced, and that PTSD leads to substance abuse, domestic violence and other related crimes when untreated, we definitely need Veteran's courts.

But, what we need more is a DOD that acknowledges and aggressively treats PTSD for Active Duty folks and a VA system that can adequately handle ALL veterans who need healthcare.

Sadly, our country has never met those goals, so bandaids such as these become necessary...
