Pursuant to the Criminal Justice Act (CJA), the law governing the provision of federal criminal defense services to those unable to afford representation, the Office of Defender Services (ODS) of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, primarily through the ODS Training Branch (ODSTB), provides substantial training and other resource support to Federal Defender Organization (FDO) staff and CJA panel attorneys.
REGISTRATION FOR ALL TRAINING BRANCH EVENTS IS LIMITED TO PERSONS WHO PROVIDE SERVICES PURSUANT TO THE FEDERAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE ACT.
Event Title:
FUNDAMENTALS OF FEDERAL CRIMINAL DEFENSE
Description:
The Fundamentals of Federal Criminal Defense Program (The Fundamentals Track) is a one-day program specifically designed with the new practitioner in mind. Despite your years of practice in other areas of law, if you are new to the world of federal criminal defense this program will introduce you to a number of vital areas which are essential when providing effective representation in federal criminal court. Unlike more advanced programs, attendees will have the luxury of learning, asking questions and working with other attendees who are likewise new to this difficult area of practice. The Fundamentals Track is a rare opportunity for new CJA panel attorneys, and those seeking to join the Panel, to hear a dynamic group of attorneys, professionals and judges, speak on a wide variety of topics most vital to providing robust and effective representation. Best of all, the Fundamentals Track is offered on the first day of our Winning Strategies Seminar. This allows attendees of the Fundamentals Track to join in with Winning Strategies attendees for one-and-a-half days after the Fundamentals Track is concluded. Since both programs are offered at the same location attendance in both programs is easy and encouraged. A perfect mix for the new federal criminal defense attorney wishing to get a day of basics and a great look at more complex areas during later sessions.
