Advisory Committee Comment
In determining what constitutes "appropriate" education, judges and subordinate judicial officers should determine the number of hours of education on domestic violence that is adequate for their assignment, taking into account the size of the court, the nature of their assignment, the mix of assignments, and other factors.
