Public Defenseless

163: Imagining Something Better than Washington's Patchwork Public Defender System w/Larry Jefferson


Listen Later

As one of the many states without a unified system of Public Defense, the consistency of Public Defense and access to legal services from county to county is wildly inconsistent. Joining Hunter to speak about this justice by geography model is Larry Jefferson, Director of the Office of Public Defense. Despite the name, Larry and his office only hold limited ability to direct and assist in the delivery of Public Defense across Washington. Nonetheless, Larry has dreams of a completely different model for justice that he hopes his office can help lead the state towards.

Guests:

Larry Jefferson Jr., Director, Washington Office of Public Defense,
