NAPD Events Policies

NAPD doesn’t apply for CLE or track attendance to provide certifications for our live webinars, conferences and online courses. This helps us keep the price as low as possible and avoids the disruption of the flow of the training required by many states to verify attendance.

By registering for NAPD training, I am affirming that today I am neither a prosecutor, nor attending this training  with the purpose of aiding the prosecution of any criminally accused.   I further affirm that I  am dedicated to the ideals of the criminal defense practitioner, and am committed to the causes of effective and zealous defense of those charged with crimes, the protection and assertion of constitutional rights afforded the criminally accused, and the recognition and preservation of human dignity of those charged with crimes.  I further affirm that my use of the information provided by this training  will not be used by me in any manner which would impugn the above set out ideals.

NAPD CANCELLATION POLICY IN-PERSON EVENTS All registration cancellations must be submitted in writing to accounting@publicdefenders.us at least 30 days prior to the first day of the event. Refunds will be processed via the original payment method, minus a $50 administrative fee, after the event. In lieu of a refund, an organization may transfer the registration to another attendee at no additional cost. No refunds will be issued for cancellations received less than 30 days in advance. If NAPD is able to fill the spot with an attendee on the waitlist, a refund will be issued.

CREDITS FOR CANCELLATION OF AN IN-PERSON EVENT In lieu of a refund, the individual or organization may accept a credit to be used only for NAPD virtual events without a cap of attendees (within in 12-month).

VIRTUAL EVENTS AND ONLINE LEARNING All registration cancellations must be submitted in writing to accounting@publicdefenders.us at least 7 days prior to the first day of the event. Refunds will be processed via the original payment method, minus a $25 administrative fee, after the event. In lieu of a refund, an organization may transfer the registration to another attendee at no additional cost. No refunds will be issued for cancellations received less than 7 days in advance. Should NAPD find it necessary to cancel the event for any reason, a refund will be issued in full.

SCHOLARSHIPS NAPD takes seriously its responsibility to be a good steward of donations received through the NAPD Fund for Justice. To that end, scholarship recipients should carefully consider their acceptance of these awards and only do so with the full intent of completing the course and fulfilling all requirements related to the scholarship (e.g., providing a video or impact statement afterwards).
