National Institute on the Prosecution of Sexual Violence II
Arlington, Virginia - May 3-6, 2011

Successfully prosecuting crimes of sexual violence requires specialized
knowledge and the ability to analyze and explain complex legal, medical,
and scientific issues while overcoming myths about sexual assault and
sexual assault victims.  The National Institute on the Prosecution of
Sexual Violence II (NIPSVII) is a three and one-half day advanced
training course designed to provide prosecutors who have previously
attended the original NIPSV or NIPSVI with the training, resources, and
skills necessary to overcome emerging legal issues and challenges to
successfully prosecute these difficult cases.  NIPSVII delves more
deeply into the concepts addressed during NIPSVI and integrates such
complicated dynamics as campus sexual assault, sexually exploited
victims, and victims with disabilities.

NIPSVII utilizes a highly interactive team format to engage and
challenge prosecutors while providing them the opportunity to
collaborate with their peers to develop more effective prosecution
strategies.  Attendees will also work closely with expert faculty
including prosecutors, advocates, and other national experts to examine
and promote the application of promising practices being implemented by
other jurisdictions across the country.  In addition to victim-centered,
offender-focused prosecution practices, participants will enhance their
understanding of criminalistics, DNA, and computer forensics as they
work through complex case files based on actual cases.  Attendees will
also be encouraged to develop unique strategies and policies to increase
victim participation and overcome defense tactics devised to bias juries
and judges.  Participants will leave NIPSVII prepared to engage in local
multidisciplinary training and encourage innovative system-wide
approaches while implementing more effective case evaluation,
investigation, and preparation techniques to achieve justice in sexual
violence cases.

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