Team Mitigation Institute

Mitigation created by a team of professionals in non-capital cases is increasingly becoming the standard of practice. This bring-your-own-case institute is designed for defense teams to work on the mitigation for a non-capital client. The institute is a mix of presentations followed up by small group work facilitated by experienced faculty.

Participants are encouraged to come with their defense team (attorneys, investigators, paralegals, social workers, mitigation specialists and other sentencing advocates). Please use the discounted ticket available above if you are registering a team of 3 or more to work on one client's case. However, if all of your team members are unable to attend, sole participants are also welcome.

Small groups will be assigned to promote discussion among teams handling similar types of cases (i.e., offense charged, juvenile or mental illness). In addition, some teams will work on cases where clients have a realistic chance of diversion while others may work toward reducing the term of incarceration for clients.
