Happy National Public Defense Day. Today we reflect on the Supreme Court decision in 1963 which finally recognized the fundamental right to assistance of counsel for all people, regardless of income.

Happy #PublicDefenseDay ! Also known as #GideonDay . Every day at #PDSDC we practice what Gideon and his lawyers fought for, and we are so honored to be able to bring the constitutional promise of COUNSEL and of a FAIR TRIAL to the people of the District of Columbia.
What worries me most as a public defender: “A system that just wants to lock people up…a machine that is designed to crush souls” #PublicDefenseDay #Gideon Day #Gideon
Happy #PublicDefenseDay to every Black defender! For many of us, this is not just a career but a calling. We often see ourselves, our family, and our friends in our clients. You deserve to be celebrated everyday, but especially today. #BlackDefendersMatter 🖤✊🏿
What we know from experience, and the numbers bear out, the question to ask when a loved one is arrested is not,”Which private attorney do I hire?” it is, “How can I best support the public defender advocate for my loved one?” Salute to the defenders.

Happy #PublicDefenseDay ! Today marks the 60th anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright, the landmark casein which US Supreme Court unanimously declared that indigent defendants have a constitutional right to a court-appointed lawyer.
As #PublicDefenseDay winds to a close, I’m at a loss for words to describe how much my fellow defenders surprise, inspire and move me every day and especially during #COVID19 . #StillDefending The NAPD

Lucky to work amongst the most hardworking, brilliant, and compassionate lawyers I’ve ever met.
