This course is for law enforcement officers who fulfill all other BIA minimum requirements to receive an SLEC and for USAO personnel who have responsibility under TLOA to teach the CJIC class but may not have experience with the class format and materials. By way of background, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Office of Justice Services (OJS), issues Special LawEnforcement Commissions (SLECs) to Tribal, Federal, state, and local full-time certified law enforcement officers who will serve without compensation from the Federal government. This process allows BIA to obtain active assistance in the enforcement ofFederal criminal statutes and Federal hunting and fishing regulations in Indian country. One of the criteria for receiving a SLEC is attendance at the Criminal Jurisdiction in Indian Country (CJIC) course and passage of an exam at the end of the class with a score of 70 percent or higher.While the SLEC is still issued by BIA, passage of the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 shifted primary responsibility for delivery of CJIC training to DOJ.

This seminar is designed for Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSAs) newly assigned (three years or less) to financial litigation programs in the United States Attorneys' Offices. As debtors have become more sophisticated in hiding and/or dissipating their assets prior and subsequent to conviction and judgment, it is important that AUSAs with financial litigation responsibilities be aware of and understand the emerging issues in enforcing and collecting criminal monetary penalties, as well as civil debts. The seminar will provide basic instruction on criminal pre-judgment strategies, pre- and post-judgment enforcement pursuant to the Federal Debt Collections Procedures Act, the Mandatory Victims' Restitution Act, the Crime Victims' Rights Act, and management issues. This training will utilize lectures and discussion groups to provide theoretical insight and practical approaches on the day-to-day aspects of practicing financial litigation, focusing on the enforcement and collection of civil and criminal monetary impositions and judgments for victims of crime and the United States. Please note that this is an introductory course, and individuals with more than three years of experience who request enrollment will need to provide justification for their request in the learnDOJ system.
