The Domestic Violence Project trains attorneys to represent victims of domestic violence in obtaining temporary protective orders. The Georgia Family Violence Act provides for civil relief to victims of domestic violence through ex parte hearings, followed by second hearings after service upon the respondent. This Project helps to level the playing field for victims who would otherwise have to face their batterer and possibly their batterer's attorney in court alone.
