Notes:	Provides a background to and an evaluation of a law school-based advocacy intervention programme in the US developed to assist domestic violence victims to obtain protective orders through the criminal justice system. Reviews existing research on the effectiveness of advocacy for battered women and outlines the methodology and results of the authors study before discussing the implications of the findings and directions for future research. Argues that, although the results strongly suggest the intervention programme reduced levels of physical and psychological re-abuse, more research is needed before the findings can be generalised and/or validated. Suggests, however, that sufficient evidence exists to conclude reductions in re-abuse can be achieved through interventions aimed at the victims alone.
