National Institute on the Prosecution of Sexual Violence
January 11-14, 2011 in Washington, DC

The 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.

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.
