Webinar
In collaboration between the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, the Battered Women’s Justice Project, and the National ERPO Resource Center at the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions, this presentation includes an overview of the intersection between firearms and domestic violence, and the critical yet unique roles of domestic violence protection orders (DVPOs) and Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) in promoting safety for survivors of intimate partner violence and communities-at-large. Following the overview, a panel of judges engage in a facilitated discussion on effective strategies for the issuance, implementation, and enforcement of both types of orders.
