Attorney discusses 'Economic Penalties in the Trial Court'

As part of the 2023 Virtual Lunchtime Trainings, the State Appellate Defender Office and the Criminal Defense Resource Center will present a webinar on “Confronting Economic Penalties in the Trial Court” Tuesday, May 16, from noon to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.

This training will feature Angeles Meneses, assistant defender at SADO. Meneses is a 2015 graduate of Michigan State University College of Law and a 2008 graduate of the University of Michigan, with a B.A. in Political Science.

During law school, Meneses developed a passion for public interest and indigent criminal defense. She served as a student attorney with the Washtenaw County Public Defender office, and as a legal clerk with the Federal Defender Office, representing indigent criminal defendants facing federal charges.

Before joining SADO, Meneses worked for Pitt, McGehee, Palmer, and Rivers as a project attorney for the Flint water contamination class action lawsuit. In this capacity, she had the opportunity to help draft pleadings, including the complaint against the Environmental Protection Agency.
