CFACDL is composed of both private defense counsel and public defenders that practice in the local state and federal courts in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties. CFACDL serves its members by providing them with informative seminars, opportunities to earn Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits, and opportunities to network with other criminal defense lawyers and members of the local judiciary at the various events hosted by the organization. As a service to both its members and the public, CFACDL conducts an Annual Judicial Poll which allows local defense attorneys and prosecutors to rate the performance of judges they practice before in various different categories.
