While at DV LEAP Joan filed fourteen briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court and represented abuse survivors in state court appeals all over the country and in the District of Columbia. DV LEAP and Joan have received several awards, including among others, the American Bar Association’s first ever “Sharon Corbitt Award for exceptional service and leadership in improving the legal response to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and/or stalking.”
Joan regularly provides trainings for judges, psychologists, lawyers, domestic violence coalitions, and others.
