NITA Provides Special Training to Help Victims of Violence

Louisville, CO (PRWEB) November 20, 2007 -- Victims of domestic violence require an attorney with a unique skill set. The skills needed go beyond an understanding of the legal system and involve advanced advocacy and most importantly, compassion.

Because of this, the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA) is pleased to announce its sixth Basic Trial Techniques program for attorneys representing survivors of domestic violence. The program, which will take place from November 28?30 at the NITA Education Center in Louisville, Colorado, is designed to assist attorneys in representing clients in various court proceedings. The program covers a variety of topics such as case planning, witness examination, use of exhibits, and persuasive argument.

?When you leave NITA, you leave with newfound knowledge and experience in trial advocacy,? said Lamberto O. Abeleda Jr., Assistant District Legal Counsel of the Florida Department of Children and Families. ?You leave with a deeper, more profound sense of awe and respect at what can only be described as the art of trial advocacy.?

The program is made possible by a grant from the Office of Violence Against Women of the US Department of Justice. Legal Assistance for Victims attorneys will attend this program that, like other NITA programs, emphasizes a ?learning-by-doing? approach to teaching more effective and ethical advocacy skills to attorneys. While programs like this fulfill mandatory continuing education requirements from state bars, this program goes above and beyond basic requirements and is offered at no cost to the attorneys who need the training the most.

?Public service attorneys? need for training is astounding,? says Mark Caldwell, a NITA Program Director. Caldwell has been coordinating NITA workshops for public service attorneys since the 1980s, and says that while most attorneys don?t get hands-on training in law school, public service attorneys are at an even greater disadvantage because their firms typically don?t fill in the gaps.

During the program, attorneys will practice trial presentation in an intense format, having their performances critiqued by a number of NITA-trained faculty, a cadre of experienced judges, attorneys, and professors from around the country, many of whom started out as public service attorneys themselves.

?It?s like throwing a rock in a pond,? Caldwell said. ?Every lawyer we train will serve hundreds of needy clients.?

Having trained over 100,000 attorneys during the organization?s 35 years, NITA has helped shape the practice of law in profound ways. For attorneys interested in attending a NITA program and joining the NITA extended community, more information on programs and how to apply can be found on www.nita.org or by calling 800.225.6482.
