Join us for a training specifically designed for hearing officers under the 2020 and 2024 Title IX regulations. This training is designed for decisionmakers who have already completed another trainED decisionmaker training. This training is focused only on conducting a legally compliant live hearing and will not cover other required decisionmaker topics.

Institutions are required to hold live hearings with an opportunity for cross-examination under the 2020 Title IX regulations and many institutions subject to the 2024 Title IX regulations also hold live hearings. Further, higher education institutions are required to provide specialized training on an annual basis to individuals responsible for adjudicating matters of sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking; and both the 2020 and 2024 Title IX regulations require decisionmakers to receive training on specific topics. Whether live hearings are still relatively new for your institution, or your institution has been using a hearing model for years, regular training for officials involved in the hearing process is essential for avoiding problems before and after a decision is rendered.

The benefits of our training extend beyond merely satisfying your annual training requirements. Our training is conducted by higher education attorneys who regularly advise institutions on all aspects of the sexual misconduct process, from policy drafting through the final resolution of sexual misconduct matters. Because these attorneys also have extensive experience investigating and adjudicating sexual misconduct cases for institutions, this training incorporates firsthand, real-world experience and provides practical guidance on navigating the complex issues that arise during the hearing process.
