Standpoint Goes on the Road with New Laws 2024

Registration opens July 1st for Standpoint’s annual domestic violence training series, New Laws 2024, the most publicly visible of its training programs. New Laws 2024 is the single greatest source of up-to-date legal information on domestic violence for advocates and professionals. New Laws utilizes a "train the trainer" model, where critical information is provided to a core group of people who then disburse it in wider circles. 

For each location on its Minnesota road trip itinerary, the series provides two days of impactful material on sexual and domestic violence. The first day provides attendees with special topic presentations, followed by a second day that focuses on changes in federal and Minnesota statutory and case law over the previous year. This year the New Laws 2024 program will visit Rochester, Fergus Falls, and Redwood Falls in August, as well as Pine County, Minneapolis, and virtually in September. News Laws is designed for attorneys, advocates, law enforcement, court officials and other professionals in Minnesota.

Standpoint specializes in delivering trainings and technical assistance on various legal aspects of domestic and sexual violence that integrate adult learning principles, are interactive in design, and ask participants to critically analyze the response to domestic and sexual violence. Registration information for New Laws 2024 will be available on Standpoint’s website beginning July 1, 2024.
