CT chief justice aims to pilot ‘behavioral health court’ in New Haven

Connecticut Supreme Court Chief Justice Raheem Mullins announced this week the launch of a task force to design a pilot program for a specialized behavioral health court in the state. 

People with mental illness are overrepresented in the criminal justice system. A specialized court could help reduce the number of people who cycle through as a result of behavioral health challenges, Mullins said. https://ctmirror.org/2026/07/10/ct-chief-justice-aims-to-pilot-behavioral-health-court-in-new-haven/
