Fostering the Public Voice of the Public Defender w/Kay Levine and Russell Gold

Jun 15

Today, Hunter spoke with two law professors, Kay Levine and Russell Gold, to discuss their law review article calling for an increase in the public advocacy of public defenders. As a natural extension of the main goals of the show, Hunter loved exploring the potential political power public defenders could wield if they were more vocal. Interestingly as well, both Kay and Russell offered important juxtapositions between public defenders, prosecutors, and corporate attorneys and the way each engages with public advocacy out of the court room.

Guests:

Kay Levine, Professor of Law, Emory Law School

Russell Gold, Professor of Law, Alabama University School of Law
