DUI Court — Judge Eric Brewton

Judge Brewton is the judge in charge of the Cobb County DUI Court, which is an Accountability Court. When it comes to an addiction, the research has shown that placing people in jail does not solve an addiction problem. Accountability Courts were created with the recognition that if you can treat the addiction you will no longer have repeat offenders and, in the process, dramatically transform people’s lives.

Judge Brewton will be discussing how the DUI Court operates, the counseling and curriculum the Court provides, and the results of the work of the Court. The end result of the work of the Court is that public safety is increased as people that graduate from the Court can live sober lives and not become repeat offenders. More importantly, the DUI Court graduates’ lives are restored, their families and other relationships are enriched, and they become productive employees.
