Conducting Remote Hearings – Ensuring Consistency, Competence, and Compassion

Available to rent for a 24 hour period, from when payment is made.
Includes training materials available to download.
Time: 1 hour, 1 minute.

In this new world of social distancing, COVID-19, and intense public scrutiny of how educational institutions address Title IX, schools are grappling with how best to adjudicate sexual assault complaints. Can hearings be conducted in a fair manner when no one is in the same location? How can institutions ensure policy compliance if they have never met their Hearing Officer? How do we juggle witnesses, advisors, support people, administrators, and the parties themselves?

Join us for a content-packed hour while we explore all of these potential pitfalls. We will review the numerous benefits of remote hearings, how your institution can manage hearings in a fair and respectful manner, as well as tips and tricks to ensure a smooth and professional hearing.


Liz DeChellis, a Partner at Van Dermyden Makus and a key member of the T9 Mastered faculty, frequently serves as a Hearing Officer for Title IX cases. She also developed curriculum and regularly presents training programs through T9 Mastered on how to become a campus Hearing Officer.
