National Judicial College: Domestic Violence Training

The National Judicial College is pleased to present a four-day program for judges on handling cases involving domestic violence. Cases involving domestic violence are complex and challenging and are made even more difficult by the pressures generated by the press, public, and advocacy groups from all sides. This practical nuts-and-bolts, hands-on and highly interactive “judge-centered” program will focus on the needs of judges who handle these cases. The content includes the latest research on the different uses of coercive control and how judges can avoid a one-size-fits-all view, which undermines effective judicial intervention. Judges may be able to use their OVW training funds to attend, and scholarships are available from The NJC.
