Title IX Investigator Mentorship
Practical, case-based mentorship that helps investigators sharpen their skills, build confidence, and navigate real Title IX investigations with clarity and defensibility.
Why Partner with a Title IX Mentor?
Real-Time Experience
Learn by working alongside an experienced TIXS Investigator on an active case—seeing how decisions are made as the investigation unfolds.
Skill Application
Move beyond theory. Apply training in real time, from investigation planning to interviews, evidence gathering, and report development.
Lower Risk
Gain practical experience without increasing institutional risk, as the TIXS Investigator remains responsible for the investigation.
Why Partner with us?
Our investigators don’t just understand Title IX requirements—they apply them daily in complex, high-stakes cases. That experience translates into practical, defensible guidance your team can rely on.
We focus on building investigator judgment, not just checking procedural boxes. From communication strategy to evidence gathering, we help your team develop the skills needed to handle cases with confidence and credibility.
Mentorship is flexible and tailored to your institution’s needs, whether you want support on a single case or ongoing development across multiple investigations.

What's Included in Investigator Mentorship?
Each institution is paired with a dedicated TIXS Investigator who leads the investigation while your internal investigator participates throughout the process—observing, contributing, and building practical skills in real time. The TIXS Investigator remains responsible for the investigation, ensuring compliance and quality, while your investigator gains direct, hands-on experience. Mentorship may include:
- Initial strategy meeting to develop the investigation plan
- Exposure to communications with parties, advisors, and witnesses
- Weekly check-ins to review progress and decision-making
- Real-time discussion of investigative complexities and challenges
- Collaboration on identifying relevant evidence and sources
- Opportunity to observe interviews with parties and witnesses
- Guidance on report structure, analysis, and drafting
- Input on preliminary report responses and final report decisions
- Preparation for hearing testimony
