CASC again is offering Trauma to Trial, our 6-day course on the topic of investigating and prosecuting adult non-stranger sexual assaults.  This year, for the first time, there is an opportunity for advocates who work with victims of sexual assault to join the traditional prosecutor/law enforcement team. Both victim witness (system-based) advocates and community-based advocates are eligible to apply as part of a jurisdiction’s team. The training is open to 10 prosecutor/law enforcement/advocate teams.  Jurisdictions may apply with both a system-based and community-based advocate (team of 4) or with just one advocate (team of 3).

The program is free.  Lodging for attendees whose offices are more than twenty-five miles from the training site and parking will be provided and meals will be reimbursed at state per diem rates. Mileage is NOT covered and will be the attendee’s responsibility.

Space is limited to 10 teams. Teams are to be comprised of three or four members from the same jurisdiction. Since there have been substantial changes to the content of this course, anyone who attended  prior to 2017 may re-apply if they wish to attend again.

ACCEPTANCE IS BY APPLICATION ONLY. Upon completion of the online registration a link to download an application will be emailed to both team members to be completed and returned to CASC.
