The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan (PAAM) Violence Against Women Project (VAWP) presents a two-day "Domestic Violence Trial Advocacy Training" for prosecutors only.
The online training will take place via Zoom on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 20-21, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. consisting of full day sessions with breaks. Attendance at all sessions is required.
This training is designed for the prosecutor or assistant prosecutor new to handling intimate partner violence crimes or those looking for a refresher if returning to handling those type of cases. Topics will include:
• Introduction to victim-centered, offender-focused prosecution
• Victim privacy and partnering with advocacy programs
• DV Laws and Common charging issues
• Evidentiary issues
• Direct and cross exam
• Expert witness testimony
• Perpetrator behavior and abuser accountability
The VAWP team at PAAM hopes to provide attendees with a training experience as close as possible to a live in-person training. Attendees are asked to treat this training as if it were an in-person training. Attendance is mandatory on both days and for both morning and afternoon sessions. For those who cannot clear their schedules for the two days of training, they should register when it is offered at a later time when they can dedicate two full days to training.
Space is limited. A waitlist will be available for those interested in attending if there are cancellations.
This training satisfies 12 hours of continuing legal education for purposes of PAAM's Best Practices Recommendations.
To register, prosecutors or assistant prosecutors should visit www.michiganprosecutor.org and click on ‘training.’
