Brooklyn Law School 

250 Joralemon St, Brooklyn, NY 11201

Join us in New York City at Brooklyn Law School for fellowship, professional development, and celebration. This year's conference is all about us—Community Is Power—and the truth that together, we're stronger.

This gathering is for Black defenders and all those committed to defending our communities with excellence and zeal. Public defense requires us to show up for our clients and each other, and for three days, we're doing exactly that: sharing strategies that work, naming the weight we carry, and strengthening the network our communities deserve.

Expect plenaries that inspire, workshops that sharpen your practice, strategic planning for BPDA's future, and our Juneteenth celebration—because joy is part of the work, too!

Be sure to follow BPDA on Instagram and Facebook for updates!

We look forward to seeing you in New York in June! Thank you for being part of this movement.
