FY 2010-12 Capital Litigation Training Initiative
Note:
This awardee has received supplemental funding. This award detail page includes information about both the original award and supplemental awards.
The purpose of the Capital Case Litigation Initiative (CCLI) is to provide high-quality training and technical assistance on death penalty issues to prosecutors and defense counsel who litigate death penalty cases. This program focuses on ensuring quality representation in death penalty cases and trials. The goals of CCLI are to increase the number of capital litigation attorneys trained in death penalty cases, and to ensure that defense counsel and prosecutors have the most up-to-date and comprehensive information available to them on death penalty litigation.
The National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) will train state and local prosecutors. NDAA will offer ongoing technical assistance to state and local prosecutors on issues that arise in death penalty cases. They will also provide high-quality trainings on death penalty issues to enhance the ability of prosecutors to effectively represent the public and ensure reliable jury verdicts in state capital cases. NDAA will also make available two high-quality webinars on death penalty issues to improve capital prosecution in the states. NCA/NCF
