Training from 8:00am - 5:00pm
Join the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan’s Child Abuse Training unit for a free, full-day, experiential training Jury Selection in Child Victim Cases. Jury selection is your first opportunity to connect with the jury, begin to lay the foundations for the arguments you will make in closings, and preview any issues you have in your trial. An effective voir dire in child physical and sexual abuse cases can establish the tone of your entire trial. This full day 8 hour training will give participants the basics of picking a jury and will require attendee participation in practice voir dire. This training is for prosecutors and assistant prosecutors only, targeted to prosecutors new to handling child abuse cases or those looking for a refresher.
