</strong>February 14, 2023
VSBA Offices in Charlottesville or Virtual</h3>
Navigating the Title IX investigation and grievance process can be anxiety-inducing, but it doesn’t have to be that way!  In this two-part workshop, we will walk you through the basics of Title IX, as well as, providing step-by-step guidance for conducting an effective and thorough investigation of claims arising under Title IX.

For the first part of the workshop, participants will learn the basics of Title IX, as well as receive the required training under the Title IX’s regulations for Title IX coordinators, investigators, decision-makers, appeal decisionmakers, and informal facilitators.  As part of this workshop, we will provide form letters that can be adopted by each school division to use at each juncture of the investigation process.

For the second part of the workshop, we have developed a vignette, for a hands on, guided investigation of a Title IX case.  As part of this process, we will guide you through the process of making a general response, drafting a notice of investigation, conducting the investigation of a formal complaint, drafting the investigation report, drafting the decisionmaker’s report, and the appeal process.   Sample investigation report and decision-maker report will be provided as part of the workshop.

Hosted by the VSBA and presented by Stacy Haney and Pakapon Phinyowattanachip, attorneys with Haney Phinyowattanachip PLLC, this timely and important workshop is a must.  Each part of the workshop will be approximately 2.5 hours, with a lunch break in between.
