All court records are usually "public" records. However, judges do have the discretion to seal some records they deem sensitive for some good reason. Family court records (which usually oversees Domestic Violence proceedings) can sometimes fall into this category. Go to the Clerk of the Court's office and inquire. If you have the name of the case, and it is not sealed, you should be able to review the case record.
