Public defenders play a key role in advocating for people impacted by the criminal legal system, not just on the individual level but for entire communities as well. Hear from a panel of four experts in public defense from around the country, engaging in a discussion on how to reduce harms and increase public safety for communities most negatively affected by enforcement, legal, and penal system policies. Panelists will discuss their specific efforts in the Bronx New York, Alameda County California, Massachusetts, and Washington DC around mental health, social work models, trauma-informed training, and also efforts to challenge unjust and often unconstitutional practices, including those assessments of fines and fees, pretrial detention and bail, and stop and frisk. Dehlia Umunna, Clinical Professor of Law and Deputy Director of the Criminal Justice Institute at Harvard Law School, will join us as guest moderator.
