Training Tools: Helping Court Staff Understand Domestic Violence Cases Courts across the country are seeking ways to improve how their staff responds to domestic violence. The Center for Court Innovation recently developed three short videos to answer common questions from court staff about domestic violence. These videos can be used to help onboard new staff or as training tools for a larger discussion. For more information or assistance, please contact us at dvinfo@courtinnovation.org. Part II: Why Did They Drop the Order? What makes domestic violence cases challenging for courts? Many court staff have seen survivors file for a protective order and later decide to not pursue the case. There are countless reasons why dropped orders are so common. Watch this video to learn about common challenges with cases involving domestic violence and how courts can respond.
