SUMMARY:2026 Defender Trial School
DESCRIPTION:The Defender Trial School\, co-sponsored by the UNC School of Government and the North Carolina Office of Indigent Defense Services\, is now open for registration. \nCOURSE OVERVIEW\, DATES\, AND LOCATION: The course will be held at the School of Government on Monday\, July 13 through Friday\, July 17. Participants will use their own non-capital cases to develop a cohesive theory of defense at trial and apply that theory through all stages of a criminal trial\, including voir dire\, opening and closing arguments\, and direct and cross-examination. Unlike other courses\, you need to attend all the sessions. The sessions build on one another\, and by the end of the course\, you will have developed a comprehensive strategy for trying your case. \nThe Defender Trial School is open to public defenders and\, space permitting\, private attorneys who perform a significant amount of appointed work. Because space is limited\, public defenders must receive approval from their Chief Public Defender prior to registering. You do not need to send us anything formal from your chief defender. \n  \nYou can access the agenda here.  \n  \nBRING YOUR OWN CASE\nThis course differs from others that you may have attended. Although you will be working from a hypothetical case in the plenary sessions\, you will spend most of your time in small groups working on your own cases. While misdemeanor cases are permitted\, felonies are preferred. You can access the Guide for Participants for more information on the type of case you need to bring. If your application for the course is accepted\, submit the Case Summary form by 5:00 pm on Wednesday\, June 24 to Bob Burke at oldhoopster@hotmail.com. \nFEE: The registration fee for private assigned and managed assigned counsel is $900.

Since we correspond with participants primarily through email\, ensure your email address is current. \nCLE CREDIT: This course will offer up to 29.5 hours of continuing legal education (CLE) credit\, including 1 hour of ethics\, and qualifies for NC State Bar criminal law specialization credit (pending State Bar approval). \n  \nHOTEL INFORMATION: A block of rooms is available at the Tru by Hilton Chapel Hill (1742 Fordham Blvd\, Chapel Hill\, NC) for $124 plus tax.
