Prosecuting Domestic Violence Homicides
December 13-15, 2010 in Washington, DC

Prosecuting Domestic Violence Homicides (PDVH) is a two and one-half day
course designed to explore the unique issues present in cases where
intimate partner violence results in death. The PDVH curriculum
encourages a proactive approach to these cases by examining the
prosecutor's role in a coordinated community response to domestic
violence. The curriculum focuses on overcoming common defenses,
introducing other crimes evidence, effectively arguing forfeiture by
wrongdoing, and working with medical and forensic experts.
Additionally, the curriculum promotes the concept of fatality review and
the role it plays in preventing domestic violence homicides.

The PDVH curriculum uses a hypothetical case scenario as the basis for
interactive lectures, small and large groups discussions, and courtroom
exercises.  The faculty will consist of national experts including
prosecutors, law enforcement officers, forensic examiners, and other
criminal justice professionals from the field.  The experts will also be
available to consult with the participants on cases from their own
jurisdictions.  Prosecutors will leave PDVH with new ideas and
strategies for holding offenders accountable and keeping communities
safe.
