Brooklyn celebrates 10 years of its Integrated Domestic Violence Court
The Kings County Supreme Court celebrated the 10th anniversary of its Integrated Domestic Violence Court during a special ceremony in the courtroom in Downtown Brooklyn on Thursday.
The Integrated Domestic Violence Court (IDV) was one of the first of its kind to use the “one family, one judge” problem solving model where domestic violence is the underlying issue.
“October is Domestic Violence Awareness month, so how appropriate to be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Integrated Domestic Violence in October,” said Hon. Esther M. Morgenstern. “The one family, one judge model has been a major success around the state. We have been recognized and are the recipient of a Mentor Court Grant from the U.S. State Department for all of the work that we do here.”
