More on the proposed Public Defender’s Office from Mark Bennett at Defending People For a Public Defender’s Office.

Via the omni-present Grits (does he ever SLEEP, for pete’s sake?) - letter to the Chronicle on Need for public defenders in Harris County from the trenches, as it were.

Which leads me to ask - is there anyone who publicly opposes a public defender office and why?

just to read more on this.

There will be a symposium at the University of Houston Law Center on Sept. 5th 2008 to analyze methods of providing indigent defense with some of the leading minds on the issue - details to follow.
