Join us for a D.C. Superior Court Open House where DCVLP’s Co-Legal Director, Aida Vindell, along other representatives from legal services organizations will introduce you to the Domestic Violence Division – one of the Court’s high-volume branches where pro bono representation is greatly needed in civil protection order (CPO) cases.

You’ll observe court proceedings, meet with judges, and learn how you can help survivors who are seeking protection orders and help expand access to justice in our community.

The Open House will focus on pro bono opportunities to represent petitioners seeking CPOs. A person can file a petition for a CPO against someone who has committed or threatened to commit an intrafamily offense, sexual assault, sexual abuse, or sex or labor trafficking against them. By providing pro bono representation, you can help protect a petitioner from harm, as well as enhance your professional skills.

Are you ready to learn more? We look forward to welcoming you!

Please note this event involves a moderate amount of standing and walking. If attendees have accommodation needs or questions, please contact Jodi Feldman at Jodi.Feldman@DCCSystem.gov for more information.
