Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Felony drug courts are specialized courts that are designed to handle only drug offenses and focus on treatment and rehabilitation of offenders rather than punishment. They aim to address the underlying issues that led to the drug-related criminal behavior and reduce recidivism. The other options listed (U.S. district courts, U.S. courts of appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court) are all general federal courts with broader jurisdiction and responsibilities than felony drug courts.
