Webinar
Thursday, April 27 | 3:00pm-4:30pm EDT/12:00pm-1:30pm PDT
Across the country, people who are brought into criminal court face not only the challenge of fighting the charges against them, but also the looming certainty of court debt. Court fees, counsel fees, electronic monitoring fees, and more can leave an accused person with hundreds or thousands of dollars of debt after their case has ended, even if they are acquitted.
Join NLADA for ”Criminal Court Fees: A Cost Greater than Money,” a discussion of court fees, their impacts, and how we can build better systems.
Our guest speakers are:
- Colleen Higgins, Client Advocate/Investigator, City of Atlanta Office of the Public Defender
- Robert Jones, Director of Community Outreach and Lead Organizer, Orleans Public Defenders
- Jon Offredo, Legislative and Communications Director, Delaware Office of Defense Services
This webinar is supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s Safety and Justice Challenge.
