National Institute on the Prosecution of Domestic Violence II
Washington, DC - March 22-25, 2011

The National Institute on the Prosecution of Domestic Violence II (NIPDV
II) is a three and one-half day advanced training course designed for
prosecutors who have previously attended the original National Institute
on the Prosecution of Domestic Violence (NIPDV I). NIPDV II builds on
the trial advocacy skills and concepts developed during NIPDV I and
integrates emerging legal issues and nuanced challenges, such as
offenders' use of technology in stalking cases, that front line
prosecutors face. This advanced course is designed to simulate an
intensive, felony-level domestic violence caseload. Throughout the week,
participants will manage several cases from initial evaluation through
trial and sentencing by prioritizing resources; analyzing charging
decisions; overcoming complex defense tactics; effectively using medical
and psychological expert consultants; communicating with the media; and
addressing ethical considerations.

NIPDV II utilizes a highly interactive team format to engage and
challenge prosecutors from across the country by exposing them to the
expertise of our distinguished faculty and encouraging them to learn
from each other's collective experience. The mock case files the
participants will use are based on actual domestic violence cases and
are designed to encourage participants to confront and overcome
increasingly difficult challenges. NIPDV II participants will be
expected to make hard decisions, with limited resources, that guide the
pretrial investigation and preparation of their cases. The decisions
participants and teams make during each exercise will determine what
evidence is available to them, affect their ability to make informed and
appropriate charging and trial decisions, and ultimately impact their
ability to hold offenders accountable and keep victims and communities
safe. Participants will leave NIPDV II prepared to implement thorough
case evaluation and preparation techniques and innovative trial
strategies to achieve justice in domestic violence cases.

Application Process
This course is open to all prosecutors and attendance is free of charge;
