National Institute on the Integration of Interpreters in Civil Representation
of Victims of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking
June 5-6, 2008, San Jose, CA
The ABA Commission on Domestic Violence, in collaboration with the United States Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), is pleased to present a two-day training, National Institute on the Integration of Interpreters in Civil Representation of Victims of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking, on June 5-6, 2008 in San Jose, California.
This Institute is designed to provide attorneys who represent victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking with the opportunity to enhance their skills and knowledge about providing culturally and linguistically appropriate services to victims who are Limited English Proficient (LEP) and/or Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Please see links below for additional Institute information.
Priority registration will be given to attorneys currently receiving funding from the Legal Assistance for Victims (LAV) grant program of the United States Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women. No more than three attorneys from the same LAV-funded program may register for the Institute without prior approval from the program’s grant manager. Any additional participant slots will be made available to attorneys currently receiving funding from other OVW grant programs that represent victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Non-LAV grantees must obtain prior approval from their grant managers. Remaining spots will be made available to non-OVW funded attorneys currently serving victims and survivors. Registration will close at fifty participants. This Institute is offered at no cost to current OVW-funded attorneys. Participants may use OVW funds to pay for travel costs.
