Panelists will discuss what investigations help set up the strongest claims, and how to coordinate with other agencies before filing; how to conduct discovery to prove your case, and how PREA fits into a sexual assault case; and provide context about sexual assault in prisons and jails, as well as provide perspective about litigation going on in other spaces.
