Nova Scotia's special court designed for people with mental illness who come into conflict with the law will open this fall.
The mental health court, to sit once a week in Dartmouth starting Nov. 2, will divert some people away from the criminal justice system and into treatment programs.
Attorney General and Justice Minister Ross Landry said the court will examine the accused and their illnesses, not just their alleged crimes.
