Kudos to the Eastern District of Virginia

The Spring 2006 edition of The Liberty Legend, contains an article on the special recognition award to the investigators and paralegal specialist team from the Federal Public Defender’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia for their work on the Zacarias Moussaoui case. We expect further recognition for others will appear in a future edition.

The Liberty Legend, published by the National Association of Federal Defenders is available online at the Association's web site:http://www.federaldefenders.org
