Along with substance abuse and mental illness, domestic violence is one of the most prevalent factors bringing families into the dependency system. As legal practitioners, we must be prepared to address these issues in the appellate context. Attendees will learn about the dynamics of domestic violence, key appellate case law relating to domestic violence issues at various stages of the dependency proceedings, and best practices when representing survivors of domestic violence in a dependency appeal.
