This program is free of charge and is intended for CJA attorneys, federal defender staff, mitigation specialists, paralegals, and investigators assigned to represent persons charged with federal capital offenses or who are appealing federal death sentences. It will cover, among other topics, legal and case related developments as well as other issues relevant to federal death penalty litigation, including appeals, in plenary and workshop sessions. There will also be presentations related to understanding, developing and presenting mental health evidence as well as other mitigation issues.
The Strategy Session is the annual conference organized by the Federal Capital Trial Project and we are very pleased to return to an in-person format after holding the conference virtually for the past four years. The program follows the presidential election and will include sessions addressing the challenges and opportunities the federal capital defense community face under the next Administration.
Note to Federal Defenders: Please share this announcement with your staff, your CJA panel, teams representing capital-eligible defendants in your district, and individuals involved or interested in becoming involved in federal capital defense work. The Federal Capital Trial Project is committed to increasing the diversity and cultural competency of the federal capital defense community.
