Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The Veterans Defense Project is organized and operated to ensure veterans receive effective legal representation when charged with a criminal offense and to educate those involved with the criminal justice system on the unique challenges and opportunities present in cases involving military veterans.

Restore veterans in criminal justice system to their communities

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Restoring veterans involved in the criminal justice system to their communities was key to passing the Veterans Restorative Justice Act (VRJA) in the Minnesota legislature in 2021. With support from key legislators and veterans groups the legislation was passed and signed by the Governor.--
With the VRJA passage in 2021, we are now working with key groups to establish Veterans Treatment Courts in all 87 Minnesota counties. Veterans are valuable assets to their communities, and the VRJA will provide the opportunity for them to live, work, and serve without the stigma of a criminal conviction on their record.--
As we achieve success in Minnesota with the VRJA, we are putting together a strategic plan to take the VRJA model nationwide.--
