44th Annual National Conference on Law and Higher Education
Date: March 1-6, 2023
(In-Person at Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach, Clearwater, FL, 48 hours)
Stetson University’s Center for Excellence
Description of Training:
Through a partnership of law enforcement, victim advocates, social service providers, and community members, IPVI addresses all intimate partner violence offenders known to the criminal justice system. One of the structure’s essential elements is the ability to focus on offenders at the early stages of offending, before violence or patterns of behavior escalate, offering community-based outreach, support, and messaging about the potential consequences of continued IPV offending. Through this approach, jurisdictions are able to establish themselves as the entity responsible for addressing the violence, thus moving the burden of action off the victim (unlike many current IPV approaches). This workshop will focus on the principles behind IPVI, how it works, and the essential steps that jurisdictions can take to successfully implement this innovative initiative.
Attendees/Participants:
- Tamara Kosic, Director of the Office for Civil Rights and Title IX, Title IX Coordinator
- Jaclyn Beard, Case Manager for the Office for Civil Rights and Title IX, Deputy Title IX Coordinator

Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (VADCJS)
Description of Training:
The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is pleased to announce that it will host a 3-day intensive training entitled “The Four Corners of Title IX Regulatory Compliance.” Title IX compliance may be the most complicated regulatory mandate colleges must comply with, especially with the release of new regulations on Title IX that took effect on August 14, 2020. Professor Peter Lake, an expert on Title IX and a well-known scholar in higher education law and policy, has developed a model for a well-ordered Title IX response system and has now tuned that model to recent Title IX legal developments.
Lake’s Four Corners of Title IX Regulatory Compliance addresses the following metrics:
- Organization and management -appropriately trained and positioned staff, website design, self-evaluation of the system
- Investigation, discipline and mediation -including fairness to both the complainant and respondent, potential challenges to our systems in court, appeals, review and grievance procedures for staff and students
- Supportive measures - support services for complainants and respondents, including interim measures and advocacy
- Culture and climate management -surveys and “checks,” violence prevention, and “voluntary compliance” with the spirit of the Title IX
Join Professor Lake and learn how you can create a robust, comprehensive Title IX system that complies with both the letter and spirit of the law. This course will cover legal foundations and an in-depth discussion of the new regulations, in addition to the Four Corners of Title IX Regulatory Compliance.
