Types of criminal justice lawyers

The Alaska Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (AKACDL), founded November 30, 2009, is a voluntary non-profit professional association created to serve the needs of criminal defense attorneys in Alaska.
AKACDL's primary goal is to provide continuing legal education (CLE) for new attorneys as well as seasoned practitioners, and for both public defenders and private practitioners.
AKACDL presents an annual educational event named the AKACDL All*Stars Conference, usually featuring four nationally recognized speakers at a two-day conference held at the Alyeska Resort in Girdwood, Alaska.

In the New York State Unified Court System, a justice court is a local court that handles traffic tickets, criminal matters, small claims, and local code violations such as zoning.
Constitutionally, justice courts are part of the state legal system, but state law generally makes them independent of the New York State Office of Court Administration (OCA) and instead makes them the responsibility of their sponsoring localities.
