During the Batterers Intervention / Domestic Violence progress report hearings, there is sincere interchange between the Court and defendant. Good progress is always positively reinforced directly by the Court. Poor performance is negatively reinforced in various ways, ranging from verbal admonishment to incarceration. Progress report materials for the Court’s consideration include written reports from the treatment providers and written reports from the probation officer.
Once again, Court Ordered Classes, upon participant request can provide the Probation Officer, along with the Court, Proof of Enrollment and Progress Reports for all of our enrolled Domestic Violence class participants once enrolled and Intake is completed.
Domestic Violence Court targets misdemeanor cases (the felony cases are heard in Superior Court). There is one Domestic Violence Court in each county’s two criminal justice branches. A judge is usually permanently assigned to these two Courts.
Domestic Violence Court sentencing occurs one morning each week in each judicial branch. The Court integrates the domestic violence sentencings with post-sentence domestic violence case reviews. Defendants who are sentenced from this calendar are placed on supervised probation for a minimum of 18 months. Unless defendants are remanded to custody, they are ordered to enroll in a certified domestic violence treatment program within 13 days and to return to the same court in precisely 14 days with a Proof of Enrollment form furnished and endorsed by the certified treatment provider. Court Ordered Classes provides both you and the Court or Probation with Proof of Enrollment and Progress Reports for all of our enrolled Domestic Violence class participants. Consequences of non-compliance are an extension, of not more than additional 14 days or remand to custody if no Proof of Enrollment is furnished or a bench warrant to be issued if they fail to appear as ordered.
Following Proof of Enrollment appearances, defendants appear before the same Domestic Violence Court for progress reports at intervals to be delivered by the Court. Please remember that Court Ordered Classes provides both you and the Court with Proof of Enrollment and Progress Reports for all of our enrolled Domestic Violence class participants. (The first progress report appearance is 28 days after enrollment; subsequent appearances are at the Court’s discretion, and depend on the quality of the defendant’s progress.)
