About this conference
The 2026 Race Matters Seminar is a powerful and illuminating annual event hosted by NACDL (National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers) in New Orleans, LA. It is designed for criminal defense practitioners to confront and address the difficult issues presented by race in America and its court system. The seminar explores how race impacts every stage of a criminal case, from initial police encounters and media attention to pre-trial litigation and trial proceedings. Now in its 9th year, this conference has grown to become the nation's leading CLE conference for defenders focused on systemic racial inequities within the criminal legal system. Attendees can expect to learn and enhance their advocacy skills to achieve new successes for their clients.
