The Las Vegas Justice Court will recognize the achievements of participants in its Community Court Program during a Graduation and Promotion Celebration scheduled for Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at 2 p.m. The ceremony will take place in the Regional Justice Center’s second floor Assembly Room No. 2342, 200 Lewis Avenue, Las Vegas.

The Community Court Treatment Program is designed to reduce recidivism and improve quality of life for participants by combining judicial supervision of low-level misdemeanor offenders with comprehensive support services. Through partnerships with nonprofit providers, government agencies, community groups, and justice partners, the program provides access to substance use treatment, education, employment opportunities, and medical and disability resources.

“Community Court unites partners committed to helping individuals move forward while maintaining accountability,” said Chief Judge Melisa De La Garza. “This graduation shines a light on participants making inspiring progress toward transformation, strength and self-sufficiency.”

Program Requirements and Support

Graduates of the treatment program must complete at least nine months of participation and remain drug and alcohol free for a minimum of 60 days. Each participant follows an individualized treatment plan that may include:

• Substance use treatment at varying levels of care
• Individual and group counseling sessions
• Randomized drug and alcohol testing

In addition, the program helps participants reclaim identification documents and reconnect with essential community resources. These include medical, dental, vision, and mental health care, as well as education, employment, housing, financial stability, and family support systems.

Ceremony Access

The July 28 graduation ceremony is open to the public, as well as to families and friends of program participants. For more information, contact Court Administration at LVJCAdministration@ClarkCountyNV.gov.
