TTA in Michigan

See what Sixth Amendment work is happening in Michigan.

We worked with the Neighborhood Defender Services Detroit (NDS) and a collaborative group from Wayne County's Indigent Defense Services Department (IDSD) to:

  • Organize and host an innovative, 8 session training program for assigned counsel on the use of experts and investigators
  • Share resources, recordings and presentation materials from the training with attendees, allowing defense attorneys and investigators in Wayne County to rewatch the training on-demand
  • Work towards increasing the use of experts and investigators by court-appointed counsel in Wayne County, Michigan

We worked with the Michigan State Appellate Defender Office to:

  • Improve overall quality of appellate criminal representation across the state for indigent clients through strategic planning.
