ABA Commission on Domestic Violence Quarterly eNewsletter

The Commission's eNewsletter addresses the need for up-to-date, accurate, easily accessible information that will enable you to provide the best possible legal assistance to victims of domestic violence. In each issue, we choose a theme, and provide you with two practitioner perspectives on that theme, along with related resources and practices tips. Additionally, in every issue we bring you case and legislative updates, job postings, new resources, Commission activities and a chance to "meet" one of our Commissioners.

 Subscriptions are open to all.
