1 Friday, April 20, 2018 Challenges and Innovations in Public Defense: The 13th Annual Summit on Indigent Defense Improvement American Bar Association Headquarters Chicago, IL 8:00 8:30 a.m. Registration and Breakfast 8:30 9:00 a.m. Welcome Remarks Jim Bethke, Chair, Indigent Defense Advisory Group ABA Standing Committee on Legal Aid and Indigent Defendants Amy Campanelli, Cook County Public Defender 9:00 10:00 a.m. Conflicts Issues in Public Defense: Challenges and Solutions Amy Campanelli, Cook County Public Defender Ann Sutton, Chief Counsel, Marion County Public Defender Agency Lester Finkle, Chief of Staff, Cook County Public Defender Pamela Metzger, Director of the Deason Criminal Justice Reform Center and Professor of Law, SMU Dedman School of Law Norm Lefstein (Moderator), Professor of Law and Dean Emeritus, Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law Public defenders are under increasing pressure to retain cases despite a potential or actual conflict. The recent decision of the Illinois Supreme Court holding that a public defender office is not a law firm for the purpose of turning down conflicting representations, appears to exacerbate this issue. This panel will address what further can be done to empower public defenders to determine when a conflict prohibits a representation. Additionally, the panel will discuss steps public defender offices have taken to ensure quality representation even where pressured to take conflict cases. 10:00 11:30 a.m. Public Defender Workloads: Responding to the Crisis Michael Barrett, Director, Missouri State Public Defender System
2 11:30 11:45 am Break Carlos Martinez, Public Defender, Miami-Dade County Stephen Hanlon, Project Director, ABA Public Defender Workload Studies Malia Brink (Moderator), Assistant Counsel for Public Defense, ABA Standing Committee on Legal Aid and Indigent Defendants Report after report has documented that public defenders across the country have excessive workloads. What efforts are being taken to stem this tide? Have any been effective? This panel will discuss efforts to reduce public defender workloads through studies, litigation and advocacy, with a focus on the role of public defenders in this reform effort. 11:45 am 12:45 p.m. Fines, Fees and Misdemeanor Courts Hon. Lisa Foster (Ret.), Co-Director, Fines and Fees Justice Center Nusrat Choudhury, American Civil Liberties Union Sarah Reese, Municipal Court Public Defender, Biloxi, MS Sara Totonchi (Moderator), Executive Director, Southern Center for Human Rights Excessive fines and fees imposed on individuals without regard to that person s ability to pay frequently lead to mounting court debt, warrants for failure to appear in court to address that debt, and, far too often, imprisonment. This panel will address efforts to break this cycle of overcriminalization through impact litigation, policy reform efforts, and improving courtroom advocacy for reducing and waiving fines and fees. The discussion will focus on the role public defenders can play in achieving reform. 12:45 1:30 p.m. Lunch and Keynote Address Keynote Speaker: Rick Kammen Norm Lefstein (Moderator), Professor of Law and Dean Emeritus, Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law Mr. Kammen served as learned death penalty counsel to Abd al-rahim al Nashiri, who was accused of conspiring to bomb the USS The Sullivans, and of organizing the bombings of the USS Cole and a French oil tanker off the coast of Yemen, in 2000 and 2002 respectively. Nashiri was captured in Dubai in 2002 and held in secret Central Intelligence Agency custody until his transfer to Guantanamo Bay in While in CIA custody Nashiri was repeatedly
3 tortured by the CIA.This case raised not only the use of waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques, but also the Constitutional sufficiency of the military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay. On October 13, 2017, Mr. Kammen and the other civilian lawyers representing Nashiri requested to withdraw and their withdrawal was approved by Gen. John Baker, the Chief Defense Counsel. A statement issued by Mr. Kammen regarding the decision acknowledged, "The circumstances surrounding this are highly classified. But... doing so was necessary because it was no longer ethical for us to proceed." Mr. Kammen went on to offer his assessment regarding the military tribunals: "The military commission system is a failed experiment... No justice will ever come out of Guantanamo." Statement by Rick Kammen: Brig. Gen. John Baker, Chief Defense Counsel for Guantanamo Military Commission, Disbands the Defense Team in the USS COLE Case (Oct ) The withdrawal of the defense team set off a chain of events no one could have predicted. Mr. Kammen and his colleagues were ordered to Guantanamo, an order that they contend is illegal. The Chief Defense Counsel for the military commission Brig. Gen. John Baker was held in contempt when he refused to rescind his decision excusing Mr. Kammen and the other lawyers. Mr. Kammen was forced to obtain an order from a federal judge to prevent the military commission tribunal from compelling him to appear. And Mr. Nashiri is now being represented by a single military lawyer with no homicide or death penalty experience. In his address, Mr. Kammen will discuss his experience as a defense lawyer before the Guantanamo Bay military commission and the difficult choice to cease representation. 1:30 2:30 p.m. Innovations in Public Defense Alex Bunin, Chief Public Defender, Harris County, TX Cyn Yamashiro, Directing Attorney, Independent Juvenile Defender Office Joshua Norkin, Staff Attorney, Legal Aid Society s Special Litigation Unit Lauren Sudeall Lucas (Moderator), Associate Professor of Law, Georgia State University College of Law
4 This session will focus on presentations from three innovative programs in public defense: the FACT program to recruit, train, and mentor appointed counsel in Harris County, Texas, the Independent Juvenile Defender Program in Los Angeles, which oversees a panel of attorneys who represent indigent youth facing criminal charges in juvenile court, and the Decarceration Project of the New York Legal Aid Society. The session will explore what makes these programs innovative and how they seek to improve public defense services. 2:30 3:30 p.m. The Judicial Role: What role should Judges play in public defense reform? Justice Thomas Kilbride, Supreme Court of Illinois Hon. LeRoy K. Martin, Jr., Presiding Judge, Criminal Division, Cook County, Illinois Rep. Marcia Morey, N.C. House of Representatives Justice Cheri Beasley (Moderator), North Carolina Supreme Court 3:30 3:45 p.m. Break Judges have unique exposure to the problems of the criminal justice system, and in particular problems relating to the quality or sufficiency of public defense. Judges see these problems from the vantage point of both one who must adjudicate individual cases in which such problems may play a role and as the chief administrators of the courts. To what extent, can judges, as administrators, be agents of change without compromising, or appearing to compromise, the role of unbiased and independent adjudicator? This panel will discuss the appropriate role for judges in public defense reform. 3:45 4:45 p.m. Progressive Prosecution: Can Prosecutors drive criminal justice reform? Larry Krasner (Invited), District Attorney, Philadelphia, PA Mark Gonzalez, District Attorney, Nueces County, TX Rosemary Nidiry, Deputy Director, Fair and Just Prosecution Bryant Yang (Moderator), Asst. U.S. Attorney, Los Angeles, CA The last few years have seen a wave of prosecutors elected to office on a platform of reform from Philadelphia to Corpus Christi. But what does progressive prosecution look like in practice? This panel will discuss the impact of a progressive prosecutor on the individual accused of a crime and if prosecutors can drive more systemic criminal justice reform.
