Community Education
FDSDI provides three free public CJA training programs annually for the criminal defense community and provides Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) credits with each seminar. Many participants belong to the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) Panel, which consists of attorneys in private practice who are appointed to accept federal criminal cases in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.
The Spring CJA Seminar is generally offered in March and the Fall CJA Seminar in October. Each consists of an evening of presentations regarding substantive changes in the law and practice pointers for typical cases in the Southern District.
The Annual Criminal Justice Act Seminar is generally held
in June and attendance is required for all attorneys seeking initial appointment
to the CJA Panel in the Southern District of California. Presentations
include district judges on practice in magistrate and district courts,
Panel attorneys on CJA procedures, and FDSDI attorneys on bail and substantive
federal law updates. Each Annual CJA Seminar ends with a Keynote address
from a prominent, nationally known criminal defense advocate. Agenda and
registration information is posted on our website approximately one month
before each seminar.
Federal Defenders makes available access to our motions bank for all CJA panel attorneys. Our motions bank contains the most up-to-date motions on a variety of issues in federal criminal court practice. We also have informative handouts on the jury selection practices of all our judges here in the Southern District of California. Be sure to contact our "Help Attorney" at 619-234-8467 before your next federal jury trial!
