It's a massive privilege to get to create good jobs inside public defense, and work with people like Sarah, who are making a difference for both individuals and the system every damn day www.teenvogue.com/story/public...

When we started PFJ in 2018, we looked for defenders who weren't afraid to take risks and innovate. We found one with the Delaware Office of Defense Services. Six years on, it is so nice to see our friends in the First State get the recognition they deserve. www.delawareonline.com/story/news/l...

The team at the NJ Office of the Public Defender is building something groundbreaking, and we're excited to collaborate with them. Public defense has the inherent power to be an engine of stability, safety, and prosperity. When defenders can innovate, like in NJ, we get more equitable outcomes.
