Criminal Defender Training Program (Summer Series)
Each summer, PDS offers free training to members of the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) panel. The Summer Series takes place on Tuesday and Thursday nights during the months of June and July, and most courses qualify for CLE credit in other jurisdictions.
The Summer Series contains sessions on a number
of different criminal defense areas, including trial skills, immigrant defense,
collateral civil consequences, sentencing, ethics, parole matters, and hot issues
in class action litigation. The Series is open to panel attorneys and other
interested pro bono attorneys practicing criminal law in the District of Columbia,
and registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The program for the upcoming summer is generally posted by early May.
