Establishes three-year Integrated Domestic Violence Court pilot program in Camden, Essex, Hudson, and Middlesex counties.
S 4638 establishes a three-year pilot program for Integrated Domestic Violence Courts in Camden, Essex, Hudson, and Middlesex counties. These courts would combine domestic violence cases with related family, custody, and criminal matters under one judge, using the "one family, one judge" approach to provide integrated services to victims. The program requires judges to have specialized knowledge of domestic violence law and would provide resource coordinators, victim advocates, and social workers. The Administrative Office of the Courts would monitor the program and report to the legislature on its effectiveness after 12 months and at the program's conclusion.
