FDSET provides representation of indigent defendants in the Eastern District of Tennessee by appointment from the federal courts pursuant to the Criminal Justice Act (CJA), 18 U.S.C. §3006A. (FDSET is solely funded by an annual grant from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts in the approximate amount of $9,000,000.)
The Capital Diversity Fellowship is a two-year intensive federal public defense training opportunity focusing on capital defense. The Fellowship Program seeks to enhance the quality of capital representation provided under the Criminal Justice Act (CJA), 18 U.S.C. § 3006A, and related statutes, by creating a pipeline of diverse attorneys qualified to join federal capital defense teams. All fellows will receive mentoring and training, have opportunities to interact and work closely with members of the Federal Capital Trial Projects, and will work closely with capital defense teams representing defendants in federal capital prosecutions.
