Every year, the DPA offers a conference for all attorneys, investigators, social workers, mitigation specialists, contract public defenders, and members of the private defense bar. The conference offers a mix of simultaneous and plenary sessions, usually totaling well over 70 choices of sessions. These sessions are tailored to meet the needs of defenders in different job roles and types. The conference is usually held in conjunction with the Kentucky Bar Association Seminar, and DPA attorneys are also able to attend a portion of that seminar. Videos and materials from past annual conferences are available on The Trumpet, the DPA’s private online resource for public defenders in all job roles.
This 2024 Annual Conference program provides an example of the type of educational opportunities available.
