The alliance is composed of state trial judges, state supreme court justices, commonwealth attorneys, defense lawyers, prosecutors, retired senior military personnel, psychiatrists, doctors and state elected officials.
The alliance is leading efforts to educate federal and state representatives regarding the need for funding federal, state, local and tribal veteran dockets in all jurisdictions and was instrumental in the Veterans Court Coordination Act of 2019.
We need funding primarily to help our veterans in the justice system have what they need to succeed. This includes providing them with mentors, rewards, and other similar self-improvement assistance. We also use funding to help veterans educate members of Congress, state legislators, judges, prosecuting attorneys, defense lawyers and veteran groups to expand the program and thus prevent suicides and incarceration.
