System Accountability for Sexual Assault Cases
Join WATCH for a one-hour webinar on System Accountability for Sexual Assault Cases with special guest Laura Jones, attorney and CourtWatch Manager of King County Sexual Assault Resource Center in Seattle.
Through monitoring, research, and feedback, court watch programs promote system accountability by examining and reporting on court procedures, policies, and practices. But with so few cases of sexual violence getting reported to the police and even fewer going to trial, how can court monitoring help? This one-hour presentation will provide an overview of court monitoring and address ways sexual assault programs and advocates can highlight flaws in the system and advocate for change. Special guest Laura Jones will discuss her program’s project using court monitors to examine their Sexual Assault Protection Order process.
