BXD In Conversation: Four Talks this Fall

November 21, 2022

 

Despite representing 20,000 clients every year in criminal, civil, family, and immigration courts, we still find time to participate in discussions to educate the public about the issues most impacting the people we serve. This month, Wesley Caines (Chief of Staff), Aimee Carlisle (Senior Attorney), Sophia Gurulé (Immigration Policy Counsel), and Julia Solomons (Senior Policy Social Worker), joined District Attorneys, state lawmakers, law professors, and fellow public defenders to discuss the interplay between public defense, social work, and advocacy.
