Become a Court Watch Volunteer

By volunteering with Court Watch you have the opportunity to work with others who share your values and interests in social justice, human rights, criminology, law, and sociology. No prior knowledge of the legal system is required. What matters is that you be an objective and unbiased observer who wishes to capture accurate data that could have a profound impact on the lives of future victims.

Our volunteers observe domestic violence protective order hearings in three Montgomery County courthouses (one in Silver Spring, and two in Rockville). We ask you to commit to only two mornings each month while court is in session (M-F, 8:30 a.m. until noon).

Volunteers complete questionnaires for each court case they attend, creating a rich source of objective data from which to analyze and report how domestic violence cases are handled in Montgomery County’s courts.

In addition to the training and mentoring you receive, volunteers are encouraged to join in informal monthly gatherings to exchange court experiences. Quarterly Strategy Sessions provide more opportunities to learn about the organization’s initiatives and accomplishments.
