Training and Resource Library

The Gender-Based Violence Training and Resource Library is geared primarily toward judicial officers and court personnel in Washington State, but may be useful to anyone wishing to learn more about these topics. While this library is updated periodically, it is an area that is continually evolving due to research and changes in the law. Users are encouraged to independently verify the information.

Please also contact commissions@courts.wa.gov if you are aware of a resource that may be helpful to add to this library.
