Opportunity Information: Apply for INL18GR0027 EA TRIALADVOCACY 04112018
The Vietnam Criminal Trial Advocacy Project is a U.S. Department of State initiative, administered through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), focused on strengthening practical courtroom skills in Vietnam as the country implements adversarial features introduced in its revised Criminal Procedural Code (CPC). The central goal is to help key legal actors move from written or theory-based understanding of procedural reforms to real, usable trial advocacy skills that function in open court. In practical terms, the project is designed to give Vietnamese judges, prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, and law students structured opportunities to practice the techniques and courtroom habits that support a more adversarial trial process.
The opportunity emphasizes hands-on skill development tailored to each role in the courtroom. For judges, the project targets skills needed to manage a more adversarial proceeding, including maintaining order and fairness when both prosecution and defense are expected to present more active arguments and engage witnesses directly. For prosecutors and defense lawyers, the focus is on core trial advocacy abilities such as delivering persuasive oral arguments, building and presenting a coherent case narrative, and conducting effective questioning of witnesses in open court, including direct and cross-examination techniques. Law students are included as a pipeline audience, helping future practitioners learn modern courtroom methods early and align their training with the CPC's direction.
This grant is offered as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government anticipates a more involved partnership with the award recipient than in a standard grant. The program falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services category (CFDA 19.703). The funding opportunity number is INL18GR0027 EA TRIALADVOCACY 04112018, and it was created on April 11, 2018, with an original application deadline of June 11, 2018.
In terms of scale and competition, INL anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $600,000. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they are not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit categories specified). Overall, the opportunity is aimed at supporting a single, focused implementer capable of delivering training and practical programming that strengthens courtroom performance and helps Vietnam's justice sector operationalize the CPC's adversarial elements in day-to-day criminal trials.Apply for INL18GR0027 EA TRIALADVOCACY 04112018
