If you are experiencing domestic violence and are interested in seeking a Civil Protection Order, our clinic may be able to help. We conduct intake between approximately September 15th and November 1st and between January 20th and March 15th each year. Because we are a law school clinical program, we have limited resources to provide legal assistance, but we will do our best to help.

If you would like to find out whether we can represent you in a Civil Protection Order Case, during the time frames listed above, you can call us at 202-662-9640 or email us at dvclinic@law.georgetown.edu(This link opens in a new tab).

If you are experiencing an emergency or find this link during months when we are not open for client intake, you can contact 911 and/or DC SAFE for assistance. To reach a DC SAFE Advocate, call the DC Victim Hotline at 1-844-443-5732.
