This panel will discuss how chief public defenders and court administrators can effectively advocate for resources to support the Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel. The session will focus on the leadership and advocacy skills needed to “make the case” to funders and other key criminal justice stakeholders. We will train defender leaders on how to engage policy makers regarding the important role of the Sixth Amendment and the system-wide benefits of effective public defenders.
