Please use this link for public registration.

This registration page is just for Pennsylvania leaders and is now closed

This is training in management.  It is open to anyone who works in a PA Public Defender’s office and manages other people, including PD attorneys, core staff managers, investigators, social service staff, and paralegals.  This is NOT the Chief’s Conference (which will be held in 2025), although Chief Defenders who manage others are welcome to attend. This is a national conference, and the programming will be put together by the National Association of Public Defense (NAPD).  Registration preference will be given to Pennsylvania PDs, and registration is limited.

Participants will not need to book their own lodging. The registration fee includes lodging and some meals.

CLE: This training will carry 9.5  Pennsylvania CLE credits, free to PA Public Defenders.  It will also include breakfast and lunch each day of the conference.  PDAP will pay for the hotel of PA participants, although each person must book their own room.

For participants outside of PA, NAPD is not able to advise on CLE. Please consult with the CLE contact in your state to see if credits would be available for this training.
