Louisville, KY

Registration is full for NDAA's Homicide Course. Please email training@ndaajustice.org to add yourself to the waitlist. 

Prosecuting homicides gets more complex daily with innovations in science and technology. The challenges for law enforcement, prosecutors, and other criminal justice professionals is expanding constantly! From no-body cases to cold cases, from the ever-changing technology to updated sciences, and from finding the suspect and conducting the interview to conducting the trial, prosecutors need the training to organize and prepare their cases. Prosecutors need to be ready to combat the myriad of defense attacks and new defenses, the ability to present their evidence, and the skills to confront and cross-examine the defendant’s experts and the defendants. 

NDAA is bringing together seasoned faculty, including experienced prosecutors, investigators, scientific experts, and forensic experts as they provide effective techniques and strategies that will increase your ability to successfully prosecute your homicides.

• Anatomy of a Homicide Prosecution
