 If you or someone you love is experiencing abuse, violence or threats of violence outside of a dating or close personal relationship, that might be civil harassment. Join a live question and answer session with experienced civil litigation attorneys. At this session, learn what civil harassment is and isn’t – and what you can do about it. Ask questions about who qualifies for a civil harassment restraining order (CHRO), how to apply to the court for a CHRO, including what to expect at the court hearing, what a CHRO can do and other procedural topics.

Although you can listen to the class from various kinds of devices, you will need video to view the speaker(s) and any presentation materials, and will need to connect through Zoom to be able to participate in the written Q&A or chat features.
