Domestic Violence Protection Orders (DVPOs) and Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) are both civil court orders that can prohibit the person subject to the order from possessing or purchasing firearms or ammunition. This course will help civil attorneys increase their knowledge and skills to more effectively represent clients in court and advise clients regarding DVPOs, ERPOs, and firearms.
Since the 1990's, federal law has included firearm prohibitions for people who have been convicted of particular domestic violence crimes or are subject to a qualifying order of protection. This course covers the nuances and details of those restrictions to help advocates, attorneys, court personnel, and others working to decrease DV firearm violence understand when the law may apply.
