The VBA Domestic Relations Section Council is interested in implementing a project in the Richmond and Lynchburg areas to assist victims of spousal abuse. This project has been in place in Virginia Beach Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court for a number of years and has provided outstanding pro bono services to the general public.

Members participating in the CLASS program volunteer to represent victims of spousal abuse in court for up to three days per year. In Virginia Beach, the Juvenile Court has cooperated by moving the protective order hearings to the same day each week and by giving the CLASS attorneys priority on the docket as they are volunteering their time.

If anyone is interested in assisting the Council in implementing this project in other areas of the state, please contact Cheshire I'Anson Eveleigh at (757) 497-6633 or by e-mail at eveleigh@wolriv.com.
