Only 30 GACDL members will be accepted into this prestigious trial skills program. Designed for attorneys with limited trial experience, the program includes trial skills training (CLE credit awarded with fee payment), lodging, social events, meals (all meals except two dinners), hands-on & on-your-feet instruction, and trial practice reference materials.
Bill Daniel features an outstanding and dedicated faculty of criminal defense practitioners who donate their time to the program's success. Previous faculty have included Duff Ayers, Adrienne Browning, Sam Dennis, Devin Franklin, Amanda Grantham, Laila Kelly, Suesan Miller, Zanele Ngubeni, Natasha Perdew Silas, Carlos Rodriguez, Jason Sheffield, Ryan Swingle, Teri Thompson, and Sandy Wallack.
GACDL is grateful for the investment of the Georgia Criminal Defense Lawyers Educational Foundation (GCDLEF). GCDLEF's scholarships subsidize most of the costs of this program -- a substantial investment that helps ensure GACDL member attorneys are best equipped to provide quality representation for all.
