Sexual assault cases present unique challenges. They are beset with a myriad of deeply held stereotypes and misconceptions that can undermine the judicial process. To assist new judges, NJEP canvassed judges across the country who had attended NJEP programs to ask what these judges wished they had known before they presided in an adult victim sexual assault case, or a case of co-perpetrated sexual abuse and domestic violence. Judges Tell presents these judges’ twenty-five points followed by commentary and sources. This resource is a great primer on the realities of sexual assault cases for members of any profession.
