Notes:	"Judicial Council of California, Adminstrative Office of the Courts" "May 2000" This United States report on domestic violence courts in California provides the California legislature with a summary description of what these courts are doing with regard to court procedures and the safety of children and victims, the accountability of batterers, and the administration and accessibility of justice. It found 2 major themes: that courts have responded to domestic violence cases in different ways which make it difficult to identify only one model of domestic violence courts; and that these courts share the common feature of enhancing victim and child safety and batterer accountability. Policies and procedures of 39 court locations, survey responses from these courts and professionals in the field of domestic violence were looked at. Major obstacles to implementing domestic violence courts related to policies and procedures, training and education, resistance of key participants and case characteristics.
