Beloved Defender Community,

NCDC is proud to share our new beautiful logo. You will see the use of the full name of the College (the National Criminal Defense College) emphasizing Criminal Defense for the viewer. The flame from the previous logo is carried forward. It is a symbol of our past and how the impact of the College has lit the way to great courtroom advocacy for the past 35 years. The flame is also a symbol of our resilience, the determination of the College to survive and thrive, even under the most challenging of circumstances.

Bold and strong colors symbolize our strength and power as advocates and the perseverance necessary in the face of great adversity in the legal system.

Finally, below the actual logo is a collage of silhouettes of diverse faculty members teaching and empowering the next generation of defenders to find their own voices in the courtroom. This visual element also symbolizes our support for and commitment to each other in the pursuit of justice.


The National Criminal Defense College is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation in Macon, Georgia that conducts seminars and training sessions for Criminal Defense Lawyers. We do not perform legal services.
