This Judicial Guide is designed to work in conjunction with federal, state, Tribal, and territorial stalking laws. Judicial officers should consider stalking in all types of legal proceedings, including in Federal courts; Tribal courts; immigration courts; state family, juvenile, civil, and criminal court cases; and administrative law adjudications including immigration and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission adjudications. Judicial officers can use this tool to:
- Help identify the patterns and behaviors of stalking;
- Provide courts the background needed to readily identify stalking patterns and behaviors; and
- Include findings regarding stalking, using model judicial order language, in court orders.
