court supervision

Court supervision is a form of legal oversight where a person involved in certain criminal cases, like DWI or drug offenses, is monitored by the court instead of serving jail time. Under supervision, they must follow specific rules such as regular check-ins, treatment programs, or community service. If they comply, they may avoid harsher penalties; if they don’t, they can face additional sanctions or sentencing. This approach aims to promote rehabilitation and accountability while allowing the individual to remain in the community.
