Welcome to the Criminal Justice Section

Bar Center Logo

The Criminal Justice Section is dedicated to helping all North Carolina criminal lawyers—defense attorneys, prosecutors, and judges—better serve our clients and our state. Our Continuing Legal Education programs update practitioners on changes in the law and probe deeply into specialized areas. Our quarterly newsletter, The True Bill, is a valuable source of practical knowledge. And we have designed this web page to consolidate, in one place, links and information specially tailored for North Carolina criminal attorneys. We want it to be your home page.

No other organization is dedicated to bringing together, under one umbrella, the entire North Carolina criminal bar. Thus, the Criminal Justice Section is uniquely positioned to identify areas of agreement among prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges, and to seek solutions that benefit the entire criminal justice system. Please join us as we work together for liberty and justice.

Committees: CLE, Ethics, Indigent Billing Task Force, Legislative, Long-Range Planning, Membership, Newsletter, Technology. Click HERE to join a committee.
