The Kansas Federal Public Defender is pleased to host a variety of training programs throughout the year for federal defenders, state defenders, private criminal-defense counsel, investigators, paralegals, and others. In addition to providing fresh perspectives on important legal issues from local and national practitioners, our programs are routinely approved for CLE credit in both Kansas and Missouri.
If you would like to suggest or present a topic at a future training program, please contact CJA Resource Counsel Jim Pratt at Jim_Pratt@fd.org.
