Six participants in the Circuit Court of Cook County’s nationally recognized drug court program will graduate in a ceremony at the George N. Leighton Criminal Courthouse on Thursday, according to Chief Judge Timothy C. Evans.
Community partners, advocates, and loved ones will gather in person at the courthouse and via Zoom at 2 p.m. before the Hon. Charles Burns, room 402, for the ceremony. The graduates are participants in Judge Burns’ Rehabilitative Alternative Probation and Women’s Rehabilitative Alternative Probation, known collectively as (W)RAP. Started at the Criminal Courthouse in 1998, (W)RAP provides individuals convicted of nonviolent drug offenses with a path toward stability and recovery from addiction.
