The recent tragic deaths of two teenage girls in Cranford, who were reportedly being stalked, underscore the urgent need for effective and accessible protections for victims of stalking and domestic violence. While New Jersey’s newly-enacted Victim’s Assistance and Survivor Protection Act (VASPA) represents an important step forward, the law’s procedural limitations present critical systemic gaps in ensuring victim safety.
Our distinguished panel will provide an in-depth legal and procedural analysis of VASPA, focusing on how practitioners can navigate these challenges and effectively represent clients in VASPA proceedings.
Topics include:
- VASPA vs. PDVA protections: the different circumstances a victim is entitled to protection under either law.
- Key legal and procedural differences between protective orders under VASPA and Restraining Orders under PDVA.
- Effective case management strategies for VASPA proceedings.
- The current limitations of VASPA and how to effectively advocate on behalf of clients.
Join us to learn how to confidently navigate the evolving landscape of victim protection under New Jersey law and help close the gaps in the system designed to protect vulnerable survivors.
