Criminal Defense Training Academy
OPD's Criminal Defense Training Academy was designed to strengthen public defenders by providing fundamental skills development in an interactive, supportive learning environment. Each year's class is comprised of attorneys from various corners of the state, most of whom have two or fewer years of public defense experience. Using a variety of educational methods, participants learn, develop, and apply client-centered defense advocacy skills.
To graduate from the Academy, participants must attend four days of training. All class sessions include a combination of lecture and small group exercises.
