Our Assistant Training Director’s daughter made a festive improvement to our Training Center sign this morning. As a reminder, BIDS offices will be closed December 25th and January 1st so that our public defenders and staff can enjoy the holidays with their families and friends.

A group of our #publicdefenders attended the @NAPD2013 Racial Justice Conference in Montgomery, AL, this week. Without fail, attendees come back from this conf incredibly moved & absolutely fired up to do better in confronting the racial injustice that public defenders face.

And a big shout out to our faculty too! They’re not all pictured here, but we had experienced attorneys from six different BIDS offices, as well as one of our assigned counsel, who took a week away from their own cases to help. We couldn’t have done it without you! 2/2
The BIDS New Attorney class of 2023! This group spent all of last week in Topeka learning basic client communication, trial skills, and more. We’re proud of their hard work, and look forward to great things from them in the future! 1/2
It’s always a treat to hear our Reno County Chief Public Defender, Sarah McKinnon, give her presentation on opening statements. We’re so lucky to have her and other experienced defenders who are so generous with their time in teaching our new attorneys.
The agenda is confirmed and the tote bags are stuffed — we are so excited to welcome our new public defenders to BIDS New Attorney Training next week!
And yet another great training opportunity coming up in early October! Please join us on October 6th at noon over Zoom for a presentation by Jean Phillips on common issues with experts.
