The YDAP was developed to alter the landscape of youth defense by providing the foundation for high-quality, meaningful representation of youth. Intended to serve as the gold standard in youth defense training, YDAP is designed for use in any jurisdiction. The YDAP curriculum provides general law and trial skills, while also being easily customizable to incorporate key state and local statutes, court rules, and caselaw so that each lesson is directly relevant to individual jurisdictions. ____________ TRAINER BIOS: Jennifer McGowan is a supervising attorney with Youth, Rights & Justice, Attorneys at Law (YRJ), a non-profit law firm in Portland, Oregon.
