dc.descriptionThis Article proposes that litigants in family violence proceedings have an option of a jury trial in limited circumstances. Drawing upon procedural justice research, I conclude that a jury option in the fact-finding stage of civil order of protection cases and child abuse and neglect cases will enhance litigants' sense of justice and faith in the court system. In turn, providing a jury option in such proceedings may increase compliance with orders, and ultimately, permanency and stability for families and children.
