designed for judges who have successfully completed the
Enhancing Judicial Skills in Domestic Violence Cases Workshop
or an equivalent program. The CJS Program addresses judges’
specific assignments at a more intensive level and introduces
new topics of special interest. The CJS Program offers choices
among four 1-day special topic courses and four 1.5-day court
assignment courses. The Program begins Thursday at 8:00 a.m.

of Protection Orders; STOP Violence Against Women Formula
Grants Program; Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence,
Sexual Assault, Stalking, and Child Abuse Enforcement
