Webinar on Public Defense: Introducing California’s NEW Standards for Panel & Contract Defense Systems, February 27th, 12:30-1:30

February 20, 2025

Many counties contract for primary or secondary indigent defense representation without the structure or oversight needed to ensure quality service, efficiency and accountability. Join CSAC and the Office of the State Public Defender (OSPD) for a webinar on California’s Standards for Contract and Panel Defense Systems. Featuring the expertise of Josh Branco, San Joaquin Deputy County Administrator, and Sylvia Perez-MacDonald, Director of Santa Clara County’s Independent Defense Counsel, this informative session will share practical information on why these new standards matter to your constituents, how they can transform your service model, and the strategies and assistance available to implement them.
