What must all courts provide regarding protective orders?

Access to protective orders relies on courts being accessible during regular operating hours to issue and enforce them. This ensures that someone seeking protection can obtain an order when needed, have hearings scheduled, and rely on enforcement if the order is violated. Emergency orders can be granted quickly in urgent situations, but the standard duty is for courts to be open and able to handle protective orders during normal hours. The other options aren’t universally required. Free legal counsel isn’t mandated for every protective order, though some programs offer assistance. Video conferencing for remote filing is helpful and increasingly available but not a universal obligation. A 72-hour deadline to grant orders isn’t a standard rule; processing times vary, and emergency relief may be issued sooner, while regular procedures occur during normal hours.
