NACDL and the ACLU invite you to join us for a presentation and panel discussion exploring the legal obligations of probation, parole, and other supervision systems toward people with disabilities. The program will include practical tips for defense attorneys to advocate for clients with disabilities in their daily practice. Presenters include staff from the ACLU‘s Disability Rights Program and Criminal Law Reform Project, who will share examples from their work in the field as well as their 2024 Resource Guide for attorneys.

NACDL invites you to join for a discussion on how to ensure the right to counsel by ensuring meaningful and effective attorney-client communications. This 90-minute webinar will feature the national debut of “Defenselessness” – a video short telling the story of Myles Martin through his own words and art. It will be followed by a panel discussion between those who have faced the legal system firsthand, and the attorneys entrusted with representing individuals like them. The program will delve into the critical role communication plays in upholding the Sixth Amendment right to counsel, and how everyone in the legal system bears a responsibility to ensure it is protected.
