SUMMARY:Virtual Open Space on Public Defense Independence
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nProtecting Independence \nTo serve their clients\, public defenders must be free from political and judicial control. NAPD’s Foundational Principles and the American Bar Association’s (ABA) Ten Principles of a Public Defense Delivery System therefore discourage practices that undermine defense independence\, like: \n\nJustices controlling oversight boards\nLaw enforcement officials having oversight roles\nGovernors having exclusive appointment powers\nCounty officials removing directors at will\nJudges selecting defense lawyers for their courtrooms\nJudges restricting defense expenses\n\nWhen independence is challenged\, NAPD makes our voice heard\, most recently in places like Connecticut\, Louisiana\, and Colorado. We are now partnering with the ABA Criminal Justice Section and Standing Committee on Legal Aid and Indigent Defense on a Task Force on Public Defense Independence. NAPD and the ABA Task Force are co-hosting this event.  \nThis virtual Open Space event is an opportunity for defenders from around the country to workshop local issues and shape national advocacy on this key issue. \nOpen Space Format \nRather than having experts deliver presentations and answer questions\, Open Spaces are designed for participants to start their own “rooms” for discussions and move between those rooms freely\, guided by where they feel they are learning and contributing. \nWe will have a brief opening in which participants offer their own topics for discussion\, then have two rounds of discussion in which they can move from room to room. We will close by sharing notes from each discussion\, which will be sent to all meeting participants. \nPast virtual Open Spaces on recruitment and workloads have produced practical strategies for addressing those challenges. Please join us on September 19 to discuss how to take action to protect the integrity of public defense systems.
