Navigation FACDL Chapters across Florida host ‘Sips & Suit’ events to replenish PD trial clothes closets
The Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (FACDL) recently hosted “Sips & Suits” events across the state, bringing together criminal defense lawyers for some networking while giving back to their communities.
These events aimed to replenish Public Defenders’ trial clothes closets by collecting professional attire for their clients in need during those proceedings.
Chapters from across Florida — including Broward County, Northeast Florida (Jacksonville), St. Johns County, Palm Beach County, Lee County, Central Florida, and St. Lucie County — simultaneously held events and collecting suits, dress shirts, and accessories to help ensure that clients have access to appropriate courtroom attire. The collected clothing will be donated directly to local PD offices, where they will be available for individuals who may not otherwise have access to professional clothing for court appearances.
