These seminars provide a forum for all asset forfeiture component agencies to discuss common concerns about the asset forfeiture program and, in particular, asset forfeiture issues specific to each circuit. Attendees participate in break-out sessions designed to address the administrative and legal procedures of the asset forfeiture program and to develop a plan of action for each district, addressing each agencys role in and concerns about asset forfeiture, from the pre-seizure stage to the final distribution of forfeited property. The plan of action should also address how the agencies may best coordinate their efforts to meet their identified forfeiture goals. The success of these component seminars depends on participation by each attendee. These are not seminars to learn about asset forfeiture; those selected to attend should be qualified to discuss the forfeiture work currently being done in their respective districts. Recommendations regarding the forfeiture program will be solicited from attendees and discussed during the general sessions of the seminar. After the seminar has concluded, a master district plan of action will be produced and available to all seminar attendees and headquarters representatives. Therefore, nominees should be those individuals who are most active in their districts asset forfeiture programs. DynCorp employees may be nominated.

This seminar is designed for Assistant United States Attorneys
and other Department of Justice attorneys who desire to sharpen their legal
writing skills. Emphasis is placed on improving both the style and persuasiveness
of the written work product. Attorneys will analyze methods for both improving
the quality of documents and speeding up the drafting process. Participants
create, examine, and critique documents, while learning from writing professionals
from both legal and non-legal backgrounds. All selected participants will be
required to complete a writing assignment of approximately 2 pages in length
before the seminar. Completion of the writing assignment is mandatory, as a
significant portion of the seminar involves critiques of the writing assignment.
