Mission Statement
The New York State Integrated Domestic Violence (IDV) Court is based upon the concept of one judge presiding over one family's criminal, family, and matrimonial proceedings where the underlying issue is domestic violence. The IDV court seeks to protect the rights of all litigants by promoting court efficiency and informed judicial decision making, while providing a comprehensive approach to case resolution, increasing offender accountability, ensuring victim safety and eliminating inconsistent orders. The cases are called in sequential order at time Missiocertain intervals, which minimizes time in court for litigants and streamlines decision-making. Legal representation of IDV court litigants is provided by a number of agencies and legal service providers, as well as private practitioners, many of whom are cross trained in the respective disciplines. IDV also partners with service providers to provide litigants with access to services such as supervised visitation, drug and alcohol testing, and parenting classes.
The presiding judge for the IDV Part for Supreme Court New York County, Criminal Term is the Honorable Tandra L. Dawson. The IDV courtroom is located on the 16th floor of 100 Centre Street (Room 1604).
