This webinar is the second in a series on Tribal Domestic Violence Courts/Dockets. The topics covered will lead to a resource manual for tribes. This webinar will focus on the history of domestic violence courts/dockets and will underscore the critical importance of the key principles guiding a domestic violence court and/or docket. This webinar will discuss the role tribal custom and tradition can play in developing key principles and in developing the court structure. The holistic approach to victim safety and batterer accountability will be explored through a multi-disciplinary lens, which is a hallmark of the domestic violence court model.

Tribal domestic violence courts are specialized courts with targeted caseloads consisting of domestic violence cases. Tribal domestic violence courts are comprised of personnel who are well trained in the dynamics of domestic violence and committed to working collaboratively among various victim service providers/systems to meet the needs of the family. Additionally, these courts focus on victim safety and batterer accountability by closely monitoring batterer compliance with court orders.

Tribal domestic violence docket days are characterized by setting aside specific days of the tribal court's docket to address cases involving domestic violence. Devoting certain days of the docket to domestic violence cases may allow continuity for the victim, and allows the tribal court to address related civil and criminal matters on the same day. It also allows the court to offer enhanced security, advocacy services, and child care for domestic violence victims.

The Tribal Law and Policy Institute has a new online resource focused on Tribal Domestic Violence Courts/Dockets<http://www.tribal-institute.org/lists/dvcourts.htm>. The webpage is devoted to providing information on tribal domestic violence courts and tribal domestic dockets. It also provides information on related resources such as: non-tribal specific domestic violence courts/dockets; domestic violence resources; and other TLPI publications and resources.
Some of these resources include the Tribal Domestic Violence COURT Fact Sheet<http://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/3fb28d_0130a67ad6fc4051af0895b18e199441.pdf> and Tribal Domestic Violence DOCKETS Fact Sheet<http://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/3fb28d_13a79c0c176d44dc8a2c506177e4e5d4.pdf>.
