Strengthening Rule of Law and Criminal Defense Services in Georgia

closed

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project for both the Georgia Bar Association (GBA) and Legal Aid Services (LAS) to provide advocacy, training, and on-going professional development for defense attorneys. With acquired skills provided from the applicant, the GBA and LAS will provide direct training to defense attorneys to develop their skills and increase their knowledge to better serve their clients in criminal cases. Protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms requires effective access to legal services by an independent and fully functioning legal profession that provides due process without fear of harassment or intimidation.
