While there is no specific “domestic violence court” per se, many provinces and territories have established specialized courts or specialized programs within existing courts to handle domestic violence cases. These specialized courts aim to address the unique complexities and dynamics of domestic violence cases in order to provide better support to victims and hold offenders accountable.

These specialized courts may be known by various names, such as domestic violence courts, integrated domestic violence courts, or specialized domestic violence units. The specific structure and processes of these courts can vary across jurisdictions, but they generally have a multidisciplinary approach involving judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, victim services, and community organizations working together to provide a coordinated response to domestic violence cases.
