About This Course
This CLE program provides attorneys with a hands-on introduction to litigating matters in Integrated Domestic Violence (IDV) Parts, where related criminal, family, and matrimonial cases are consolidated before a single judge. Participants will examine how the IDV model operates in practice, including court organization, applicable procedural rules, and the unique jurisdictional and ethical issues that arise in these forums. The course also explores key practice areas such as orders of protection, appearances and conferences, motion practice, evidentiary hearings, and trial management. Emphasis is placed on developing effective strategies for representing parties and children when multiple, interconnected cases proceed simultaneously.
