2019 NLADA Annual Conference-Innovative Justice

The Defender Caucus will feature a series of discussions on the topic of "Criminalization of Race and Poverty," which is the focus of the defender programming at this year’s annual conference. We will hear directly from formerly incarcerated persons, community partners, local defender leaders, and others to learn how race and poverty issues are being tackled in Detroit, Michigan, and nationally. This session will give participants an opportunity to hear about promising practices and share strategies on how to tackle race and poverty inside and outside of the courtroom.
