What Does TRO Stand For?
TRO stands for Temporary Restraining Order
A Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is a legal provision issued by a court to temporarily prohibit an individual from taking specific actions, typically to prevent harm or harassment. It is often requested in cases involving domestic violence, stalking, or disputes, providing immediate protection for the requesting party until a more thorough hearing can be held. A TRO is usually effective for a limited duration, typically until a subsequent court appearance.
