Key Elements:
-
Involve clerks of court, judges,
court staff, and law enforcement in developing the mandatory forms.
-
Allow court staff time to implement
standardized forms before making them mandatory.
-
The forms are straightforward and easy to
understand, containing only the necessary information for a judicial
determination of whether to issue the injunction.
Evaluation: Evaluation data
currently not available. Reports
from courts suggest that there was some initial shock and confusion
over how to use the form, but most judges subsequently have found them
to be helpful, especially judges who do not routinely enter these
injunctions.
Other Support: Law enforcement
reports that the standard form has been very beneficial in training
and enforcement.
