Identify a specialized criminal court.  It can be a state or federal court.  It cannot be a court in South Carolina.  Explain, in detail, the jurisdiction of the court.  How does a defendant qualify to appear before this court?  What is required of a defendant who is subject to the jurisdiction of this court?  Does a defendant have to volunteer to participate or can a defendant be court ordered to participate?  How is it determined when a defendant has successfully completed the requirements of the court?  What happens to the defendant after successful completion?  What happens if the defendant does not successfully complete the court?  Provide your opinion regarding whether you believe this court is worthwhile.  Is this type of specialized court, effective?  Would you change any aspect of the court?  If so, how?  If you would not change it, why not?  How does this court impact the workload of the state’s criminal court system?
