By Riley S. Lovejoy, Attorney at Law - A requirement of probation that is generally imposed at sentencing is a DUI victim’s panel. While it isn’t mandatory for a Judge to require attendance at a Victim’s Panel, practically speaking every judge imposes this sanction. The DUI Victim's Panel is a community meeting where volunteers who have been victims, offenders, and witnesses of DUIs give testimony sharing the experiences they have endured as a result of drivers under the influence. The panel's focus is to encourage people to be responsible for their choices and realize the true cost of driving impaired. The cost to attend is $30 to $40 depending on where you attend, and generally must be paid in cash. Another requirement to keep in mind is that you must be completely sober when you attend the Victim’s Panel.
