GACDL's PRESIDENT SPEAKS




Natasha Perdew Silas, GACDL President

Hello my GACDL brothers and sisters.  I want to begin my year as your President with a message of love - love and admiration for defenders and for what defenders do.  Love and admiration for all of you.

My love for defenders began when I was a child - through stories my parents told me about the lawyer who represented them when they were jailed during the movement.  They were both so impacted by their defender.  He saw them through very difficult times.  His name was C B King.

    • To promote educational activities to improve the skills and knowledge of lawyers engaged in the defense of criminal cases;
    • To improve the judicial system and to urge the selection and appointment to the bench of well-qualified and experienced lawyers;
    • To improve the correctional system and to seek more effective rehabilitation opportunities for those convicted of crimes;
