ThisIsDefense -- Law Students

This Is Defense

Public defense means so much more than courtrooms, suits, and case files. It is about our health, our safety, our communities, racial justice, fairness, accountability, and so much more. As we celebrate the true meaning of public defense, we want to hear from the next generation of defenders -- law students. ThisIsDefense.org is excited to include your voice in a growing video archive featuring public defenders speaking out with pride about their work. For more, visit thisisdefense.org/stories
