Prosecuting Domestic Violence Cases: Efforts to Balance Serving Society and Survivors within a Multidisciplinary Team Framework

Content: The St. Clair County State's Attorney’s Office will join NCADV to break down the process of how cases are presented to a prosecutor for charging through final disposition in an effort to create a working understanding of how prosecutors manage these important cases. The webinar will then pivot to a discussion of specific examples of how advocates can build productive relationships and work with prosecutors, law enforcement, and other advocacy agencies at various stages in the criminal justice system beginning with the investigation by law enforcement through the monitoring of probationers after final disposition of cases.

Presenter: Jason R. Emmanuel, Assistant State's Attorney (St. Clair County State's Attorney's Office)
