Here are the prepared remarks U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder delivered during the Opening General Session of the 2011 Legislative Conference.
The highlight of the speech from NACo's perspective was when he praised NACo for our policy on indigent defense.
"In what must now become a nationwide effort to bring systemic, not incremental, reform to our justice system, I am proud to count each of you as partners. So many of you – both as individuals and as an association – have called attention to our country’s indigent-defense crisis. You’ve worked to ensure that the unique needs of rural communities are part of the national conversation. And you have been champions of bringing innovative and creative solutions to this problem. In this work, I’m grateful for your contributions."
