The National Association for Public Defense (NAPD) a webinar on “Developing a Theory and Theme of Defense” Thursday, November 21, from 2 to 3 p.m.

Developing a compelling, emotional, and reasonable theory of defense is one of the most important and neglected aspects of successfully defending the person an attorney represents.

In this presentation attendees will learn about why developing a defense theory is so important and what goes into the creation of a compelling defense theory. Attorneys will learn about how important it is to include emotion into their defense theory and why it is so important to have that included in the presentation of their defense to the jury.

Cost for the webinar is $50.  To register, visit https://publicdefenders.us/event/developing-a-theory-and-theme-of-defense.
