to 4:30 p.m.
Please join the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan’s Violence Against Women Project for a free, interactive training on understanding the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners Exam / Strangulation Assessment. The training will also cover how to effectively use the SANE in trial. As more jurisdictions around the state are utilizing SANE programs, sexual assault nurse examiner testimony is becoming an integral part of adolescent and adult sexual assault cases. This training will focus on understanding medical-forensic examinations and strangulation assessments in the adolescent and adult patient. The training will also cover qualifying your SANE as an expert, how to effectively use your SANE on direct examination /re-direct and using your SANE exam as corroborating evidence in your case-in-chief. This training will be interactive and include web-based tools such as polls, breakouts and/or discussion sessions This training is for
prosecutors only, targeted to prosecutors newer to handling adolescent or
adult sexual assault cases or those looking for a refresher.
The VAWP team at PAAM hopes to provide attendees with a training
experience as close as possible to a live in-person training. This is not a
webinar. We ask that attendees treat
this training as if it were a live in-person training. Because space is limited, we ask that attendee’s only register if they can devote the full time allotted to the training.
Space is limited for this training.
This training satisfies 3.5 hours of continuing legal education for purposes of PAAM's Best Practices Recommendations
