Announcing the Opening Keynote for JuST 2026!
If you've ever wondered what makes a trafficking case federal — what the U.S. Justice Department will take, what it won't, and why — the 2026 JuST Training Conference opens with the people who decide.
A. Tysen Duva — Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division, U.S Department of Justice — opens the 2026 JuST Training Conference in Washington, D.C.
He leads more than 1,100 federal prosecutors working the nation's most significant cases, including child exploitation and human trafficking. His keynote, "Federal Commitment in Practice," lays out where federal enforcement is headed and the cases behind it.
Then the panel takes over.
Immediately following, "Bringing the Field to the Feds" brings up the Justice Department officials doing this work every day: Alessandra Serano, National Coordinator for Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking; Mac D. Heavener III, Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division; and Jay Bauer, Senior Attorney in the Criminal Division's Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section. Moderated by Investigator Courtney Harrison of Florida's Fourth Judicial Circuit.
What the Justice Department will take, what it won't, and why — from the people who decide.
