This will be a practical, cross disciplinary session focused on issues that routinely arise in cases with parallel family and criminal proceedings, and on what advocates can do to assist the court in managing and trying domestic abuse allegations fairly and effectively.
Focus of the Lecture
The session will concentrate on domestic abuse evidence, fact finding, and special measures, with particular emphasis on:
• The intersection with criminal proceedings
• Trauma informed advocacy
• Directions, timetabling, and special measures
