Social Workers serve a critical role with animals in the court system, especially in cases of domestic violence and animal cruelty. Their roles include acting as a Courtroom Animal Advocate (CAPS) to monitor cases, review records, and providing recommendations to the court. They also provide crucial support for families involved with animals during legal proceedings. Animals also assist victims in court by providing emotional support. The dogs help vulnerable witnesses, such as children, sexual assault victims, and people with disabilities, feel calm and secure while testifying or preparing for legal proceedings.

Learning Objectives:

Learn how social workers can assist their clients with animals in order to help vulnerable witnesses, and victims by providing emotional regulation in court
Learn how animals can aid a social worker’s clients in legal proceedings, domestic violence cases, and animal cruelty cases
Understand legal status, court guidelines, dog certification, and legal precedent
