What to Include
This sheet should include just a few basic details. For each meeting attended, it should indicate:
- The name of the AA group running the meeting
- The date and time of the meeting
- The location of the AA meeting
- A signature from the group leader
The group leader’s signature confirms that you were present – a critical detail for anyone who is legally required to attend meetings.
How to Use an (AA) Sign-in Sheet (5 steps)
1. Talk with Your Court Officer
Make sure that you understand your legal obligations. The requirement to attend meetings may come from the judge, or a parole or probation officer – and it is often in lieu of other, more serious penalties.If you’re facing alcohol-related charges, the court will try to assess the severity of any alcohol issues. You may be subjected to a pretrial interview and be screened for drinking. Once this appraisal is completed, you will be mandated to attend a specific number of meetings.
