Publications - Domestic Violence

This educational booklet provides a judge with critical information about victims of domestic violence. This booklet stresses the need for sensitivity and understanding for those victims who appear before the court scared, confused or intimidated. This booklet will help a judge to promote zero tolerance of domestic violence and provide a courtroom sensitive to the needs and safety of the victim.
