This program is designed for defense practitioners on an active federal capital trial case. Your entire team is invited to attend the ACT program for the unique opportunity to access intensive training and consultation with numerous faculty and other teams engaged in federal capital defense practice. Your team will have the opportunity to work closely with faculty in both large group plenaries and small group workshops utilizing a client-centered approach with the majority of the program time spent in small group workshop sessions. The focus of the 2017 program will be on mental health issues and the impact of incarceration experiences (e.g. juvenile detention, jail, state and federal prison) on our clients, as well as prison killings/BOP homicides. Additional topics expected to be included in the program agenda will be overall brainstorming the case, effective teamwork, investigation and presentation of mitigation evidence, including trauma history, race and culture on the team and in the case, working effectively with experts, plea strategies, and victim work. In the small group workshops, you will engage with your team members as well as with other experienced practitioners. All program attendees are expected to attend all sessions – this is an intensive program that requires full participation. Program faculty will be available to provide additional assistance to you during the training - and Resource Counsel will follow-up with your team -- as you continue to prepare for your capital trial or settlement of the case.
