A scholarship to the National Criminal Defense College has been established in honor of Camille F. Gravel, Jr. Each year, NCDC presents two sessions of the Summer Trial Practice Institute on the campus of Mercer Law School in Macon, Georgia.

The Camille F. Gravel, Jr. Scholarship will be awarded once a year and administered by the Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. The recipient of the scholarship will be selected from applications submitted to LACDL. The recipient will always be a Louisiana lawyer and preference will be given to those who regularly represent indigent defendants and who have practiced more than two, but less than 15 years.

Our scholarship pays for tuition, and housing (double room only). Meals not covered by NCDC will not be reimbursed. Any travel expense incurred is the responsibility of the scholarship recipient.

You may also contact Jill Guillory by e-mail at jill@tatmangroup.com or by phone at 225-767-7640 and request an application. In order for an applicant to be considered, all applications must be completed and received by March 1, 2013.
