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.
