Welcome To The Therapeutic Justice Foundation Website!

Therapeutic jurisprudence is the foundation of Drug Courts and they were developed to deal with a range of issues, including substance abuse and mental health issues. Also known as Problem-Solving Courts, Specialty Courts and Therapeutic Courts, because they take a treatment approach to addressing the criminal behavior that is so often fueled by drug addiction, or mental issues.

The Therapeutic Justice Foundation (TJF), in conjunction with the Bexar County Specialty Courts, plays an educative role in raising community consciousness about the problem in question, its causes, and the resources the courts need to resolve it. In addition, TJF joins these Courts in advocating for the populations that they deal with and for the increased allocation of community resources needed to resolve their problems.
