Thank you.
My question is to Ms. Mathen. We've heard from witnesses this morning, and from the questions that have been posed, that candidates should identify the areas of training that they've taken regarding sexual assault. On that, I have a couple of questions.
One is, they're not taking their training through the judicial institutes that we heard from this morning. How do we standardize that curriculum so we're actually comparing apples to apples?
Two, in talking with a number of people in the legal community, one of the concerns that they've identified to me is if the mandatory training is for new judges, what if a judge does not hear a sexual assault case for five or six years, in terms of the relevancy of that early training? Perhaps you could speak to that.
