Description

This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of NYPTI's Prosecutors' Encyclopedia (PE), tailored for Arizona prosecutors. PE is an online wiki website, exclusively tailored to help prosecutors throughout the country share resources such as training materials, manuals, best practices, and more. Prosecutors' Encyclopedia also has a national caselaw library and comprehensive expert witness pages. The best part is that all prosecutors can contribute to PE - and it's easy to upload your samples or comment on a topic.

 

If you do not already have a PE account, you can create one before the presentation by going to www.myprosecutor.com.
