DNA Training for Prosecutors
Understanding DNA: The Science, Evidentiary Issues, Presentation in Court and Defense Challenges
This course is for members of NDAA only. More specifically we are seeking prosecutors that have two years or less of experience with cases involving DNA, as well as those prosecutors who work in underserved communities with less access to training programs of this nature.
This is a blended learning training program consisting of a self-study portion followed by a live Zoom training.
Attendees will be selected by NDAA.
To apply for this course, please use the application found on the NDAA Website.
Once final selections have been made, you will receive correspondence directly from Stetson University College of Law regarding the course. Specifically, you will receive a link to enroll in the self-study course through our Online Learning Management System, Thinkific.
If you have any issues using the link to register, please email us directly at [email protected] and we will assist you in obtaining access.
Once you have logged into Thinkific through the link we provide, you will be asked to create a password and will be enrolled into the course. From that point forward you can simply go back to the course page within Thinkific to complete the online coursework.
Once your online coursework is completed you will be enrolled into a second course which will contain the Zoom link needed to attend the live-stream of the training.
The course consists of approximately 4 hours of online coursework, which must be completed prior to the live-streaming portion of the training.
The live-streamed portion of the training is approximately 8 hours.
The course will remain open to attendees until May 23rd and must be completed prior to attending the live-streamed training.

Yes, CLE's will be offered for this course. The course has already received CLE accreditation in Florida, and Pennsylvania and applications have been submitted for California, Kansas, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, and Utah. New York and Connecticut have reciprocity with FL so CLE's are also approved in those states. CLE applications were submitted in the states where the largest concentration of attendees were located.
We will provide all the information necessary for you to obtain CLE on your own within your home state should we not seek accreditation in that location. However, if your state prevents you from filing there on your own and you would like to obtain CLE credits, please email [email protected] with your request and we will review the accreditation standards and make every effort to obtain accreditation in that state.
