The Criminal Law Research Center was established in 1981 under the auspices of the West Virginia Public Defender Services (PDS). The Center acts as a source for criminal law research and information for PDS corporations, panel attorneys and private attorneys.
In addition to publishing the West Virginia Criminal Law Digest, the Center provides other publications, manuals and documents at reasonable rates. Beginning in 2001, the Center will be conducting seminars and training sessions throughout West Virginia to better assist practicing criminal attorneys.
