About HCCLA

The Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA) is the largest local association for criminal defense lawyers in the nation. HCCLA was founded in 1970 as a small, non-profit association and has grown into a state-of-the-art organization, providing assistance, support, and continuing education to its members. HCCLA provides a local forum for criminal defense lawyers.

 

The Defender

For more than three decades, The Defender (formerly The Docket Call) has kept the legal community informed about local criminal justice issues, exciting personalities, and important events inside Harris County and the Greater Houston area. We’ve expanded our readership to include criminal defense lawyers, state and federal presiding judges in Harris and surrounding counties, law schools and libraries. The magazine is also available online at www.hccla.org.

The Defender is FULL COLOR and has a print distribution of 1,000 to criminal defense lawyers, public defenders, local law schools and libraries, and the judiciary in Harris and surrounding counties. The Defender is also distributed via HCCLA Facebook and Twitter and content is shareable on social media.
