Court Diversion

AnimalCourts.com was developed by Dr. Philip P. Taylor, JD, PhD, as an alternative solution to animal and pet-related criminal violations.

These criminal violations and cases are traditionally resolved by imposing fines, fees, probation, and jail time. The United States Supreme Court and Department of Justice, however, instruct courts to strongly consider alternatives to traditional penalties when resolving criminal cases.

AnimalCourts.com provides individuals, judges, and prosecutors an alternative to such traditional, and often ineffective, penalties. AnimalCourts.com affords an opportunity to resolve animal and pet-related criminal cases by educating violators. Ask the court or prosecutor if this class is an option in your case. A court may allow the AnimalCourts.com class to be the only condition needed to resolve a case, or it can be ordered as an additional requirement if the case warrants other penalties.

AnimalCourts.com can be used the same way a defensive driving class is used to resolve traffic tickets. That’s why we at AnimalCourts.com say that it is:
