In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Judge Lauren M. Alperstein, Family Chairperson for the 17th Judicial Circuit, participated in the webinar “The Law of Protection: Domestic Violence and Interpersonal Injunctions” held on Thursday, October 9, from 12–1 PM EST.
This program provided an overview of Florida’s domestic violence laws, focusing on interpersonal injunctions as both protective measures and legal remedies. Participants explored the statutory framework under Chapter 741, Florida Statutes, and related provisions governing injunctions for protection against domestic, dating, repeat, sexual, and stalking violence.
The event featured a roundtable discussion with Board Certified Attorneys Christopher Rumbold and Carolyn Ware, with a special appearance by Judge Alperstein, who shared her judicial perspective on these vital issues.
We’re fortunate to have someone with Judge Alperstein’s expertise and dedication serving in our circuit, guiding both the community and the legal profession on these critical issues.
