The court. The Council of Accountability Court Judges' veterans treatment courts page lists "Western Circuit Veterans Treatment Court ... Program Judge(s): Judge H. Patrick Haggard. Program Coordinator: Christia Martinez. Counties Served: Clarke and Oconee. Program Implemented: September 2014." A veteran charged in Oconee County is served by the same Western Judicial Circuit docket that Clarke County's unified government funds through Probation Services; the Athens-Clarke County entry carries the circuit's own budget record - "Veterans Court was established in 2013 and integrates alcohol/drug and/or mental health treatment specific to veterans with effective judicial case management", with veteran mentors and the Advantage Behavioral Health Systems liaison contract. The statute and the route. Georgia's accountability courts, including veterans treatment courts, rest on Code section 15-1-17; see the Georgia entry. The circuit's Superior Court sits in Athens, across the Oconee line; an Oconee case enters through defence counsel, the District Attorney or the coordinator, and the CACJ directory row is the county's listed contact for the docket.
