The Bronx Defenders wraps up its 2015 Defenders’ Academy Spring Training Program!

The Bronx Defenders wrapped up another session of our nationally renowned Defenders’ Academy Spring Training yesterday. Over six days, 74 participants from over a dozen different organizations – ranging from public defender offices to private firms to the U.S. military – came together at The Bronx Defenders Justice Campus to partake in an intensive trial skills program designed to strengthen their skills as zealous advocates.

This year’s training program was facilitated by 30 skilled faculty from within The Bronx Defenders’ office and across the U.S. who covered a range of topics aimed at strengthening attorneys’ trial readiness, including storytelling, voir dire, opening and closing statements, direct and cross examinations, and communicating with clients, juries, and judges.

Thank you to all of our instructors and participants for making this past week a huge success!
