Legal Momentum’s National Judicial Education Program has created a set of educational materials for judges, courts, court-related professionals, schools, parents, teens, and the community to learn about the dangers and consequences of Teen Dating Violence. These Information and Resources sheets were developed by the National Judicial Education Program (NJEP) with funding from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women. “Teen Dating Violence” (TDV) is a scourge that is as epidemic, harmful, and potentially lethal as adult domestic violence. Unchecked TDV can entrench a lifetime pattern of perpetration by abusers and acceptance of abuse by victims. Orders of Protection for Victims of Teen Dating Violence is a resource for judges and court system professionals about how orders of protection can be used to help victims of TDV and about how to craft the protective orders in such a way that ensures the victims’ safety in all areas of their lives.
