Traditional attorney trial skills are a critical, yet neglected piece of effective advocacy for children. Each spring, the NACC conducts The Rocky Mountain Child Advocacy Training Institute (RMCATI) in Louisville, CO together with The Rocky Mountain Children's Law Center, and the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA).

 

RMCATI is a 5-day intensive experiential training designed to provide child advocates with the trial skills necessary to handle dependency, delinquency, criminal and private custody cases.

Skill areas covered include:
