There is no certification prerequisite for the CHFI, but you do need to either attend an official CHFI training course, or have the experience to waive the training requirements, but only with permission from EC-Council. More about forensics certs on my blog article: Computer Forensics Certifications | TechExams.net Blogs

And what kind of job/employer do you have that requires the CHFI?

im a probation officer and the judges i work for asked if i could get it

i explained there are many comp sec. certs out there and this wasnt always the best one but it has investigator in the name so ... well ya know how non tech people can be

See if they'll spring to send to you CEIC 2011 for EnCase training. That's the premier forensics industry event.

There are usually a few computer and network forensics-related talks at each Defcon, but it's nowhere near the forensics learning experience that CEIC is. Check out the Defcon Media Archives to watch the presentations and look at the slide decks of past Defcon presentations.
