MUNICIPAL COURT
OF ATLANTA
Community Court takes a non-traditional approach to helping low-level offenders by using alternative sentencing methods. The goal is to reduce the rate of recidivism, while simultaneously providing defendants with education, services and treatment that help them live a more productive life and maintain a clean record.

The TLC program offers traffic offenders between the ages of 17 and 25 an opportunity to learn more about the Georgia traffic laws, improve individual driving skills, understand the consequences of their actions and enhance their decision-making process.
Restorative Justice
The Restorative Justice program offers individuals under the age of 25 without any prior felony convictions, an opportunity to resolve their case by engaging in community service and taking courses designed to increase their ability to make healthier choices.
