Join us for the first ever VAWA Trial Advocacy Training in Tucson, Arizona at the Casino del Sol Conference Center & Resort on the Pascua Yaqui Reservation from May 5-7, 2015. The Pascua Yaqui Tribe hosts this event in collaboration with the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The Training will focus on three tracks: prosecutor, defense attorney, and judicial. The Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, the Center for Court Innovation, and local judges will provide substantive trial training specific to VAWA prosecutions, including training on jurisdictional considerations, witness recantation, and evidence considerations. Practical training skills and application of learned skills will take place at the Pascua Yaqui Tribal Court.
All are welcome to register for the May 5th General VAWA Session where the Pascua Yaqui Criminal Justice System will share the Lessons Learned in its first year of exercising Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction. The general session will also host general VAWA specific training on Criminal Jurisdiction, Evidence, and Ethics by Cohen-handbook contributor Melissa Tatum, renowned evidence & trial litigation expert and best-selling author Thomas Mauet, and Jim Diamond, respectively.
The substantive trial skills training days on May 6-7th will be limited and selected on a first-come, first-serve basis. The PYT Office of the Prosecutor will contact approved participants.
