This 6-hour advanced advocacy training will focus on issues that arise in Order for Protection hearings— looking at the role of the advocate, how to prepare battered women to testify, how to identify and prepare exhibits, how to assist women in making objections and how to create a “record” for appeal.  The training will include presentation, discussion, and mock hearings.  This training is for MCBW and MNCASA member programs. The training assumes that participants  already have some experience advocating in Order for Protection Hearings.
