Participants at a recent meeting convened by the Center for Court Innovation brainstorm different strategies for preparing children to testify in court. The meeting was part of the Child Witness Materials Development Project, funded by the  Office for Victims of Crime, a component of the Office of Justice Programs at the U.S. Department of Justice. Experts came from all over the country to discuss how to develop materials to support child witnesses and victims who testify in court, as well as provide guidance for caregivers and justice personnel who help to prepare them.
