Publications
WDA publications are valuable resources for our members. WDA publishes a monthly newsletter, DefenseNET, covering current public defense issues. Our quarterly magazine (co-published with WACDL), Washington Criminal Defense, includes articles written by some of Washington's outstanding defense attorneys. We also send out a weekly E-Update with up to the minute information on CLE's, changes to the law and other information pertinent to the practice of public defense. Archives of DefenseNET newsletters for the past two years are available for download here. (Previous issues can be accessed by contacting WDA directly.)
WDA has published a number of training manuals that are available to members, all of which are available in this section, as well as Standards for Public Defense Services.
