NAPD - We the Defenders (for all but the social work track)


Time: December 15-17, 2025 - 9am - 1pm
Location: Indianapolis, IN

This registration page is not for the SW track only – if you want to register for the SW track go here.

“We the Defenders” is the essential conference for public defense investigators, mitigation specialists, social workers, paralegals, and other core staff – all roles except attorneys – who play a critical role in defense-based work. Social workers, mitigation specialists, dispositional advocates, and others in similar roles will have a separate track focused on case development to hone your skills, enhance your expertise, and provide you tools for professional development (this registration page is not for the social worker, etc. track – use the social work registration page instead).  This is a celebration of the diversity, skill, and dedication that you bring to the public defense community and an acknowledgment that every member of the team is vital.
