The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan (PAAM) Violence Against Women Project and Child Abuse Prosecution Resources units will offer two sessions of a free interactive workshop for prosecutors only. “Direct Examination of the DNA Analyst” will be presented Friday, August 18, with a morning session from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and an afternoon session from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. Both sessions will take place at Schoolcraft College Academy Training Center, 31777 Industrial Road in Livonia.
Space is limited in each session to allow each attendee the opportunity to do a full direct examination of an MSP DNA analyst utilizing case material and lab reports with feedback from the trainers and lab personnel. Each attendee will be provided with case material (pediatric or adult sexual assault) before the training (including the lab reports/case summary, SANE chart and MSP DNA pre-recorded presentations).
Attendees are expected to read and be familiar with the case material. Direct exam will be based of the material provided/assigned. Additional prerequisite material will be provided. Attendees are expected to view the case material and prerequisite material (pre-recorded MSP webinars on DNA processing and Interpretation). Workshop participants are also expected to conduct a direct examination on screening or body fluid identification, DNA processing and StrMix interpretation.
This prosecutors only training satisfies 7 hours of continuing legal education for purposes of PAAM’s Best Practices Recommendations (attendance at half day session plus review of the prerequisite recordings).
