First Defense Legal Aid (FDLA), the only program of its kind in the country, fills the gap in Illinois'
public defender system by providing 24-hour free legal representation to adults and children in police
custody or under police investigation.  FDLA provides a unique "frontline" criminal defense
experience for students, enabling them to see: how evidence is collected and created; the tactics of
the Chicago Police Department when trying to extract a confession or question witnesses; the role
that the Cook County State's Attorney's Felony Review Team plays during the beginning stages of a
criminal investigation; and the utter vulnerability of children and adults when under intensive and
sometimes abusive interrogation.  In addition to this stationhouse representation, DSLA also works
toward the permanent improvement of our criminal justice system by educating the public, organizing
community residents to combat police misconduct, by engaging in legislative and community
advocacy, investigating patterns of misconduct by the Chicago Police, taking select criminal defense
cases to trial, and initiating 42 U.S.C. §1983 litigation to improve the policies and procedures of the
Chicago Police as they relate to the treatment of persons in police custody. 

Students participating in the FDLA class must be eligible for a Illinois Supreme Court Rule 711
license.  Students representing FDLA clients at Chicago Police Stations will gain unique insight into
the criminal justice system at its earliest stage and be able to: 

1. View and Document Line-Ups, DNA testing, and Halt Lie Detector Tests. 
2. Assert a Client's 5th Amendment Right to Remain Silent and 6th Amendment Right to Counsel. 
3. Gather Information from the Police on the Progress of the Investigation. 
4. Document Police Brutality and other Misconduct. 
5. Counsel Clients and Provide Information to their Families. 
6. Interview Witnesses. 
7. Demand a Client's Immediate Release at the Police Station and in Court. 
 

Richard Kling and criminal clinic students Monica Lepe-Negrette, Kathleen Moriarty and Susana Ortiz were recently featured in a Voice of America “This Week” story about the death penalty in Illinois.  The story was broadcast on Voice of America TV, and via the Internet at www.voa.gov/thisweek.
 
 

The Law Offices of Chicago-Kent offers nine long-standing programs in live-client clinical legal education which accommodate over 150 students in the fall and spring semesters and over 50 students in the summer semester.
