- Description
- The author argues for exposing judges to outsider literature - novels, short stories, and poetry - in order to improve their understanding of domestic violence. This exposure will help judges reduce their reliance on stereotypes, deepen the questions they ask themselves and others, and respond in a more just and effective manner to victims of abuse.
