Defending the Public Defender

This initiative is designed to help defend those who cannot afford to defend his or herself. The initiative acknowledges the barriers in the legal system that provide the wealthy with the best attorneys and the poor with the beginners. Therefore, the project aims to level the legal playing field by attempting to provide the under-represented with proper legal advice. This goal can be attained by setting a new system whereby criminal defense lawyers are required to take cases from people who cannot afford to pay.
