Summit County Witness Tree Awareness Event
S
ummit County Valor Court, developed and led by Presiding Judge Amy Corrigall Jones, was established based on the recognition that many of our veterans return to civilian life with serious trauma both physical and mental, which has led to their involvement with the criminal justice system. By providing this court, veterans receive access to programs, treatment and interaction with mentors in a collaborative initiative to enhance chances of success.
In furtherance of the Valor Court mission and in conjunction with the upcoming Veterans Day holiday, Judge Corrigall Jones is pleased to announce the Summit County Witness Tree Awareness Event.
