Final ESI Protocol

Overview:  The Defender Initiative at Seattle University School of Law will hold its Second Annual Conference on Public Defense on March 2, 2012.  Despite budget cuts and many challenges to defenders, there have been a number of positive developments locally and nationally.  This conference provides an additional opportunity to bring together defenders, assigned counsel, and others concerned about effective representation of clients. Among the topics covered will be how defenders can respond to racial disproportionality and race bias in the criminal justice system, the upcoming implementation of a court rule requiring compliance with standards, including caseload limits, the ongoing problems of misdemeanor defendants pleading guilty without counsel, “crimmigration”,  including discussion on how defenders can help their clients navigate federal detention, and how defenders can use software in trying cases more effectively.  Bryan Stevenson, Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative and Professor at NYU School of Law,  is scheduled to be the keynote speaker.
