Addison County Court Diversion

The Court Diversion program in Vermont was originally funded in 1979 with federal money, disbursed by the Vermont Commission on the Administration of Justice. The Turrell Fund of New Jersey provided additional funding for the development of the programs. Seven pilot Court Diversion projects were initiated throughout the state. The success of those pilot projects led to the availability of Court Diversion in every county and the formation of a statewide association of court diversion programs (Vermont Association of Court Diversion Programs).
