The 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.

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.
