Notice from CCDB President Alaurice Tafoya Modi
“As most of our country is under lock-down due to an unprecedented health crises, our courts continue to run. Attorneys are on the front-line, still representing those accused and still going to court to advocate on their behalf. Since this crisis has hit, our organization, along with others have been pushing for swift and uniform action by all Colorado courts to ensure the health and safety of all parties. Without such unified action and direction, the health and safety of each person depends on what courthouse or even what courtroom they step into. This is simply unacceptable. This unprecedented time calls for immediate and uniform action as any further delay will cost lives and could bring our justice system to a grinding halt,” said CCDB Board President, Alaurice Tafoya Modi

Welcome... 2020-2021 Board President, Brian C. Williamson
Since its founding in 1979, the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar is dedicated to protecting the rights of criminal defendants. We believe that a strong, unified and well-trained defense bar provides the best protection against error, injustice and government’s abuse of power in our criminal justice system. Our organization is unequivocally opposed to the death penalty and our mission is to ensure our members are providing the best and most zealous representation for the criminally accused. Not only does CCDB provide the best education, resources and training for Colorado’s criminal defense practitioners, we stand as a leader in advancing both legislative and policy reform to Colorado’s current criminal justice system.
