OVW Fiscal Year 2025 Domestic Violence Mentor Court Technical Assistance Initiative

closed

The OVW Domestic Violence Mentor Court Technical Assistance Initiative (Mentor Court Initiative) creates a unique opportunity to recognize well-established specialized courts and enable them to guide novice or developing courts and court-based programs that wish to significantly improve their responses to domestic violence cases to ensure victim safety and offender accountability. These well-established courts successfully serve as national models and share their expertise by hosting site visits, linking courts with peer courts facing similar challenges, and assisting other domestic violence courts to implement best practices to respond effectively to these difficult cases.
