Happy Friday to all! This week there is more training to announce and two new podcast segments now available on SoundCloud.
Training
On Oct. 18, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., the North Carolina Advocates for Justice Juvenile Defense Section in collaboration with the Office of the Juvenile Defender will be hosting a CLE in Asheville, N.C. at the Lexington Brewery. This CLE will have presentations from IDS Regional Defender Valerie Pearce, discussing the ethical obligations to representing youth following the full implementation of Raise the Age, and Assistant Juvenile Defender Kim Howes, discussing strategies for utilizing resources and advocating for the best results for clients to set them up for success. One CLE credit hour in ethics and one general CLE credit hour for this course are currently pending with the Bar. A sidebar social will also be held at the same location at 5:30 p.m. You do not need to be a member of NCAJ to attend this CLE. Everyone can attend for free and pay their CLE credit fees directly to the Bar. To RSVP, please contact Valerie Pearce by email here or call 919-667-3369.

From Around the Community
Earlier this week, we posted our newest N.C. Juvenile Defender podcast with
Dr. Anne Corbin about her new book, Dilemma of Duties: The Conflicted Role of Juvenile Defenders. During the podcast, we discuss the background behind Dilemma of Duties, Corbin’s thoughts on how role conflict may be affected once Raise the Age is fully implemented, ideas from other defenders regarding the juvenile justice system, and much more.
This was our longest interview so far, and to make it easier to digest, we’ve broken it into two 25-minute segments. Please take a moment to listen to part one of two here and feel free to listen to the final segment here to get all of the substantial info Corbin had to share with us. Also, please check out Dilemma of Duties, which is available in print and e-book format and can be purchased through Southern Illinois University Press, Amazon, Google Books, Goodreads, or wherever you like to make your book purchases!
