Juvenile Forensic Evaluation: Principles and Practice

May 3-7 2010, Charlottesville, VA (University of Virginia)

Dates and locations may be subject to change.

Overview

This five-day program provides basic legal, clinical, and evidence-based training in the principles and practices of forensic evaluation, appropriate for juvenile and adult forensic evaluators. The agenda includes adjudicative competence, insanity, criminal sentencing, malingering, report writing, courtroom testimony, and ethics in forensic practice. The format combines lectures, clinical case material, and practice case examples.

To complete the training program successfully, and be presented to the DBHDS Commissioner as eligible to conduct forensic evaluations, participants must pass a written examination and submit written evaluation products, in consultation with ILPPP faculty.  An Advanced Juvenile Case Presentation day is scheduled for participants' completion of the written case evaluation requirement.

Please register your interest at least two months in advance of the training date, since participation is invited by faculty.
