National Public Defense Conference 2025

The National Public Defense Virtual Conference will provide over a dozen topic areas to provide to the wide variety of professions and practice areas in public defense across the country. There will be skills training, but also opportunities to explore innovations, systemic litigation, development research projects - and to network with thousands of colleagues who champion the right to counsel and for the opportunity and dignity of their clients.

Recordings will be available shortly after the conference. Like the Women’s Conference, we will be recording at least 90% of the sessions. Those not to be recorded will be noted in the description. These will be available to everyone registered for the conference till the end of 2025
