In the context of Rules 4 through 42, what does protective order refer to?

Protective orders in this context are civil remedies designed to shield a person from abuse, harassment, or threats. They come in several forms, all of which are court orders limiting the respondent’s contact or behavior: an Order of Protection, an Emergency Order of Protection, and Injunctions Against Harassment or Workplace Harassment. Some cases can also include a Lifetime No-Contact Injunction under 13-719(D), which is a long-lasting prohibition on contact when the statutory criteria are met. These instruments are civil protections, not criminal charges or procedures about filing or background checks. That’s why this option best fits what “protective order” refers to under Rules 4 through 42.
