National Institute on the Prosecution of Sexual Violence (NIPSV) is
a three and one-half day course designed to challenge participants
to reevaluate their approach to prosecuting sexual violence crimes.
NIPSV 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 litigation
skills, the curriculum addresses the development and improvement of
culturally sensitive victim services by prosecutors; examines the
benefits of developing a coordinated victim-centered community
response; explains common injuries, relevant medical evidence and
offers guidance on the use of medical experts; explores ethical
issues confronted by prosecutors; and offers prosecutors the ability
to redefine outcomes and the very nature of justice in sexual
violence cases.</P><!--StartFragment-->

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial"><BR>NIPSV
uses hypothetical case problems, role-playing exercises, small group
discussions, mini-lectures, and faculty demonstrations. Rather than
reading specific case law, participants employ case evaluation,
preparation, and trial skills to understand sexual violence in the
various contexts in which it occurs and examine their current
attitudes and practices. The highly interactive format enables
prosecutors from different jurisdictions, with varied levels of
experience, to learn from one another and engage in "real-life"
activities that are readily transferable to their everyday work.
Prosecutors who have found strategies to overcome the unique
challenges in handling sexual violence cases will share their
success stories and techniques. Prosecutors will leave the institute
with new ideas and methods for keeping victims safe and holding
offenders accountable.<BR><BR></SPAN><SPAN
