Welcome!

Who We Are?

As more fully explained in our Mission, which can be read by clicking the button to the left, DCACDL is an organization formed by criminal defense lawyers in the District of Columbia that, among other things, promotes constant improvement in all aspects of the administration of criminal justice and the protection of the rights of individuals.   

In addition, we work on behalf of our membership in all relevant realms, and assist them in the practice of criminal defense law here in D.C.  We receive no outside funding, and we depend on dues and contributions to exist and prosper and provide member services.  Won't you join or renew your membership today?
