This virtual training is designed for the following Title IX team members:

• Coordinators who oversee the hearing panel process
• Decision-makers and hearing panelists who facilitate their campus hearings
• Advisors who facilitate the cross-examination during the live hearing

If you are looking for an introduction to or refresher on the best practices related to determining questions of relevance during a live Title IX cross-examination, this event is for you.

1:00 – 5:00 p.m. Eastern

Our expert instructor will guide you through the following considerations related to cross-examination:

1. Review Your Process

You will examine how well your current hearing panel procedures align with the new rule, particularly when it comes to cross-examination and the roles of the decision-maker and advisor. You will also discuss aspects of the process including:

• Reviewing your hearing panel structure to designate the best panelist to rule on relevance
• Actualizing the role of the Advisor and preparing to address parameters and guidelines of the role
• Responding to situations where parties are unprepared to facilitate a cross-examination, refuse to participate, or become emotional or difficult

2. Case Study

You will practice developing questions of relevance using a case study while also examining potential situations that could arise during the hearing process. Breaking into small groups, you’ll receive feedback from others to help you determine the relevancy of your questions and discuss how you can mitigate some challenges that may surface during a hearing.
