Clinical Associate Professor & Jane W. Wilson Family Justice Clinic Director Christine M. Scartz offers insight on the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court case U.S. v. Rahimi: “The prohibition on firearms possession by those subject to civil protective orders filled an important gap for victims of domestic violence. Persons convicted of felonies and misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence are prohibited from the possession of firearms; however, for many victims, civil protective orders are the only court recognition of the dangerousness of their abusers. Victims deserve to be protected regardless of whether the criminal justice system is involved in and responsive to the violence in their lives.”
