    Join us on this episode of I'll Allow It, Nevada where we take an inside look at Youth Achieving Recovery (YAR) Court. This Reno Municipal Court specialty court is designed specifically for young adult misdemeanor offenders between the ages of 18 and 25 who are struggling with substance use disorders or co-occurring mental health conditions.

    Presided over by Judge Justin Champagne, YAR Court recognizes that young adults are developmentally distinct from older offenders and often require a different approach, one that balances accountability with structured support, individualized treatment, and consistent engagement.

    In this conversation, we explore why early intervention during the 18–25 age range can be transformative, how the YAR Court model is structured, and what lessons it offers for courts seeking to respond more effectively to young adult offenders.
