SJI is joining our federal partner agencies in raising awareness of domestic violence (DV) throughout our nation. SJI promotes court-based solutions for the myriad of civil case types, such as domestic relations, which are overwhelming court dockets. SJI is committed to addressing #domesticviolenceprevention, treatment and recovery for survivors.

Courts must also be prepared for cyberattacks on #court systems, such as denial of service and ransomware attacks on court case management systems, websites, and other critical information technology infrastructure. SJI supports projects that assist courts in preparing for, and responding to, these attacks, and share lessons-learned to courts across the United States.

Cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility. Stay secure, stay smart.
