The Baltimore City Protection Order Advocacy and Representation Project (POARP) represents victims of domestic violence in proceedings to obtain, enforce and modify Protective Orders in Circuit Court and District Court. The advocate works with the Baltimore City POARP attorney who represents victims primarily in Baltimore City Circuit Court, and sometimes the City District Court. The Legal Advocate staffs the office and has extensive in-person and phone contact with victims of domestic violence seeking assistance in obtaining a protective order.
