Yes.

The objectives of this study do not appear to either attempt to establish policies for handling domestic violence cases or to act as advocates for battered women.

The focus of the study is to compare the effectiveness of court orders in preventing future violence and injury to domestic violence victims. The study will compare groups of women who did not have domestic violence court orders with those who did and use medical and criminal justice data and survey information to evaluate outcomes.

CJC Canon 4(C) permits Judge Levy to serve on the advisory board. He may provide information concerning the law, the legal system and the administration of justice as well as assisting in facilitating access to criminal justice information.
