This prestigious program will accept 30 GACDL members. It is designed for members with limited trial experience. The program includes: trial skills training (CLE) with a nationally recognized group of faculty; lodging; social events; meals (all meals except two dinners); an opportunity to have approximately 22 hours of hands-on instruction; and important trial practice materials.

The training will feature an outstanding and truly dedicated faculty of criminal defense practitioners who donate their time to this program. Last year's faculty included: Keith Adams, Carmen Brooks, Adrienne Browning, Wes Bryant, Angie Coggins, Arturo Corso, Sam Dennis, Devin Franklin, Erin Gerstenzang, Calvin R. Malone, Monica Myles, Zanele Ngubeni, Jason Sheffield, Ryan Swingle, Suzanne Tevis, Sandy Wallack, and Brett Willis.

GCDLEF and GACDL scholarships subsidize most of the costs of this program as an investment in GACDL members. This program is offered at a substantially reduced rate to members.
