This is a quick checklist for screening clients for domestic violence in the context of legal practice. It is developed by the American Bar Association. It suggests that all clients should be screened for domestic violence during intake or initial interviews and includes a range of behaviours or warning signs to look out for. It points out that clients may not volunteer information about their experiences, that the client does not fit a stereotype or may decline to discuss domestic violence and what the lawyer should let the client know.
