Leadership is hard and it’s especially tough in Public Defense spaces where caseloads are excessive, and resources are inadequate. But I’ve got so much optimism about the future of KS public defense thanks to a state full of such great leaders and mentors!

That’s a wrap 💃🏼💃🏼 very lucky and proud to work for the KS public defense system - they are actively working to address so many facets in PD work, and they put on a great week of training for new attorneys 🥹 s/o @MerylCA + crew
ALT Square diploma that is stamped with “Kansas Public Defenders” at the top. It says “NEW ATTORNEY TRAINING GRADUATE” with my name, Sydney, on it. My last name is blacked out. It then says “class of 2023.” The stamp at the bottom reads, “advocacy dignity justice”
The BIDS New Attorney class of 2023! This group spent all of last week in Topeka learning basic client communication, trial skills, and more. We’re proud of their hard work, and look forward to great things from them in the future! 1/2
