The four-day intense skill training program is designed for criminal defense lawyers with little trial experience. The program was directed by Tony Cueto, a New York criminal defense lawyer and Charter Member of GACDL, from 1999 through 2007.

Initially this program sponsored a GACDL member to attend a weekend program in New York based on the New York School of Laws Survey of Mental Disability law, a semester-long course. Now, the GACDL produces a seminar that includes a thorough analysis of currently relevant mental health law. The GACDL seminar last occurred in Atlanta and in 2014, 70 criminal defense lawyers and judges were able to attend due to scholarships from the Foundation.

A number of GACDL members and attorneys outside of Georgia serve on the faculty of NCDC. The Al Horn Scholarship enables two to four GACDL attorneys to attend NCDC and is designed for experienced lawyers with substantial trial experience.Since 1985, the Al Horn Scholarship has helped send more than 190 GACDL members to NCDC.
