As we celebrate May as National Treatment Court Month, we invite you to attend this information-packed foundational CLE concerning Tennessee’s recovery courts. Historically known as “drug courts,” this CLE will highlight best practices in Tennessee’s recovery courts, discuss Tennessee’s Drug Court Treatment Act and the target population appropriate for participation, provide you with valuable brain/addiction science and best practices dealing with participants with substance use disorder(s), and answer your questions about the challenges and successes of the drug court model. This CLE is meant to provide attorneys with valuable information to assist in effectively representing clients and is open to all lawyers – particularly criminal defense attorneys, prosecutors, juvenile and family law attorneys, and general civil attorneys.

The CLE will be moderated by TBA YLD President and Circuit Court Judge Alex McVeagh, who formerly presided over the misdemeanor track of Hamilton County Recovery Court. He will be joined by the Director Hamilton County’s Accountability Courts, Shannon Morgan, who is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over twenty years of experience working in substance use treatment and drug recovery courts. Both have provided trainings in the past for drug court practitioners across the country through All Rise (formerly the National Association of Drug Court Professionals).
