Domestic Abuse No Contact Orders Ruled Unconstitutional in Minnesota 

-Does your court use specialized no contact orders designed exclusively for domestic violence cases?  

 

-If so, have the orders survived challenges to their constitutionality?  

 

-If you don't use such orders, how do judges issuing no contact orders ensure the unique needs of battered women are met?

 

Please share your experiences with others by contacting WATCH with your response. Email us at  watch@watchmn.org
