Anger & the Law, State by State
General, informational background on civil and criminal code sections that commonly come up around anger, conflict, and court-ordered counseling — plus a list of free help and legal resources — for all 50 U.S. states. This is background reading, not legal advice, and it isn't a claim that any course (ours included) satisfies, is certified under, or is linked to a particular state's laws. Laws change and courts vary by county and judge, so always confirm current requirements with the court, probation office, or attorney handling your situation.
