2025 Animal Cruelty / Domestic Violence Basic Trial Advocacy Program Application Form

Description

The Animal Cruelty / Domestic Violence Basic Trial Advocacy Program, developed in partnership with the Tulsa County District Attorney's Office, and the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF), will focus on the core trial skills needed from voir dire to closing argument. Each student will develop their trial skills in practice sessions using the experts and evidence required in animal cruelty/domestic violence cases. 

The program is designed for prosecutors with 1-3 years of experience and will include one-on-one critiquing of trial practice exercises. In order to register, candidates must be nominated by their county’s District Attorney or tribal nation’s head prosecutor.

Please note that not more than (2) nominations per office will be considered as the training class size is limited to 36 participants. Priority will be given to the first nomination from an office. Secondary nominations will be selected based on remaining slots available.
