restraining order

FVAP in Court Today

by

We’re out of moot court and on to oral argument today! We will be arguing as amicus (friend-of-the-court) in the second district on the issue of how to resolve the conflict in the law between a party’s right to attend a civil deposition and the right of a person protected by a restraining order to be protected by the terms of that restraining order.
