Clay County Veterans Court (Treatment Courts, 7th Judicial District)
Clay County runs a Veterans Court beside its Drug and DWI courts - Treatment Court Coordinator Lindsy Cossette oversees all three, and Judge Jade Rosenfeldt's 2025 report to the County Board counted one Veterans Court participant on the path to graduate in 2026.
The county's own record. The Board's minutes of December 2, 2025 carry the Annual Treatment Court Update: "Treatment Court Coordinator Lindsey Cossette, Honorable Judge Jade Rosenfeldt, and Honorable Judge Michael Lesser, presented the annual update for Treatment Court... Judge Rosenfeldt... introduced the new Treatment Court Coordinator Lindsy Cossette who oversees Drug Court, DWI Court, and Veterans Court in Clay County." Ms. Cossette: the three courts "serve high risk, high need, and justice involved individuals" with "evidence-based protocols with substance use disorder treatment, mental health treatment, and high intense supervision through the Department of Corrections (DOC) partnerships". Judge Rosenfeldt: for 2025, "Drug Court has 19 participants, DWI Court has 10 participants, and Veterans Court has 1 participant... the 1 participant in Veterans Court is on the path to graduate in 2026."
The training route. The June 23, 2026 minutes approve Social Services travel to a conference covering "participant outcomes, program development, and cross-disciplinary collaboration for Drug Courts, DWI Courts, and Veterans Treatment Courts".
Minnesota's court site answers a Cloudflare challenge to automated fetch, so the county's own minutes are the source, as in the other Minnesota counties; section 609.1056 is the authorising statute (see the State entry). How a Clay veteran starts: through defence counsel, the Treatment Court Coordinator at the Clay County Courthouse, or a referral from probation, jail or the VA's Veterans Justice Outreach.
