Domestic Violence (DV)
The Family Law Center provides legal advocacy in domestic violence cases. Through our Domestic Violence practicum, offered every Fall semester, students assist in the preparation, filing, and occasionally representation at ex parte hearings and return hearings for Domestic Violence Protection Orders.
We have limited capacity to take cases with direct representation during the semester, but when we can, we commit to seeing these cases through the return hearing even after the semester has ended. Students work under the direct supervision of a licensed attorney. Outside of the practicum, we are available to assist survivors with their DVPO petitions through out the academic year via our volunteer interns.
