UACDL offers annual membership to private criminal defense attorneys, public defenders, and limited memberships for others. Attorney memberships allow access to UACDL resources and the members-only side of the website.

Access to UACDL’s Criminal Defense CLEs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UACDL is the premier source of defense-related legal education in Utah. We routinely bring a combination of local and national experts to ensure a quality blend of local insight with outside perspectives. We proudly punch above our weight to offer our members the same level of education that people elsewhere travel to get. Quality education is one of our primary missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access to UACDL’s Listserv<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most UACDL members find that its listserv is the our best feature. A listserv allows members to send an email to one source that disseminates the email to all other subscribing members, like a chat board that exists via email. Our listserv is active, collaborative, and friendly. Members who don’t want to get more emails can opt-out of receiving the messages directly, and instead access them through a dedicated website that posts emails in a message board format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brief Bank Access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UACDL provides members with a brief bank of over 100 documents, including over 80 motions and 20 pattern jury instructions from other states that aren’t in MUJI but should be used by defense. All motions and instructions have been vetted for quality and useability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video Library<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UACDL members get access to a growing video library, where a curated list of former CLE presentations is available to stream. Members can use these videos to submit self-study credits for CLEs. They can also be viewed as an easy, on-demand way of getting familiar with various topics that matter to criminal defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
