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), lodging, social events, meals (all meals except two dinners), hands-on & on-your-feet instruction, and trial practice reference materials.
Bill Daniel features a dedicated, nationally recognized faculty of outstanding criminal defense practitioners who donate their time to this program. Last year's faculty included: Chauntilia Adaway, Duff Ayers, Adrienne Browning, Denise de La Rue, Sam Dennis, Amanda Grantham, Laila Kelly, Brian Mendelsohn, Suesan Miller, Natasha Perdew Silas, Carlos Rodriguez, Jason Sheffield, R. Gary Spencer, Ryan Swingle, Suzanne Tevis, 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.
