National Institute on the Prosecution of Domestic Violence I
(NIPDVI) is a three and one-half day course designed to challenge
participants to reevaluate their approach to prosecuting domestic
violence. NIPDVI explores the complex issues faced by prosecutors in
balancing offender accountability and the impact of criminal
prosecution on victims. In addition to practical case evaluation and
trial advocacy skills, the curriculum addresses the development and
improvement of culturally sensitive victim responses by prosecutors;
examines the benefits of developing a coordinated community
response; explains common injuries, relevant medical evidence and
offers guidance on the use of medical experts; provides guidance in
evidence-based prosecution methods with up-to-date Crawford analysis
and recommended practices in responding to victim intimidation
through innovative solutions and the doctrine of forfeiture by
wrongdoing; explores ethical issues confronted by prosecutors; and
offers prosecutors the ability to redefine outcomes and the very
nature of justice in domestic violence cases.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">NIPDVI uses hypothetical case problems,
role-playing exercises, small group discussions, mini-lectures, and
faculty demonstrations. Participants employ hands-on case
evaluation, preparation, and trial skills to understand domestic
violence in the many contexts in which it occurs and examine their
attitudes and practices. NIPDVI's highly interactive format enables
prosecutors from different jurisdictions, with varied levels of
experience, to learn from one another and engage in "real-life"
activities and mock court proceedings that are readily transferable
to their work. Prosecutors who have found strategies to overcome the
unique challenges in handling domestic violence cases will share
their success stories and techniques. Prosecutors will leave NIPDVI
with new ideas and methods for keeping victims and communities safe
and holding offenders accountable. </SPAN></SPAN></P>
